Fans are already going crazy for Simon Cowell’s new boyband December 10 – and now they’ll be able to catch them live as they announce five live shows across the UK next month
They’ve been touted as ‘the next One Direction’ – and now Simon Cowell ’s new boyband December 10 have announced their very first live shows. The group – whose formation was documented in Netflix series Simon Cowell: The Next Act, will be performing In February, in Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, London and Dublin – and admitted they’re excited about hitting the road for their mini-tour.
The lads – who landed a record deal with EMI/ Universal music, said, ““We’ve been buzzing to get on stage and play live together. We’ve become best mates through all of this, so sharing that moment on stage, doing it in front of people for the first time, is something we’re proper excited for.”

Though fans will have to wait a little while to hear their debut single, the group have already dropped a cover of the NSYNC hit Bye, Bye Bye on YouTube. And it went down a storm, in a matter of weeks already getting over 1 million views.
And while the seven members of December 10 will be gigging together live for the first time next month, they’ve got plenty of experience between them. Nicolas, 16, represented Portugal at Junior Eurovision, while Sean, 19, sang for the Irish National Opera in Dublin.
Cruz, 19, has already performed in London’s West End playing a young Michael Jackson in the West End’s Motown: The Musical while Danny, 17, appeared on The Voice Kids in 2023.
John, 17, turned down a role in stage production Paddington: The Musical to join Cowell’s next big thing – and Hendrick, 19, and Josh, 17, both have a fanbase online from playing covers and their own original music.
The Next Act saw Simon scour the UK in the hope of discovering the planet’s biggest boyband – and his final seven were named December 10 after the release date for the hit documentary.
Music mogul Simon knows his stuff. He has already achieved global success with One Direction – and is hoping to replicate that success with the new band.
Singer-songwriter Kamille, who was on the judging panel with Simon and has penned hits for everyone from Raye to Little Mix, told the Mirror last December that it was ‘time for a resurgence of the boy band’.
She said, “We auditioned what felt like thousands of boys up and down the country to find this group! And sometimes we thought it just wasn’t going to happen. But it all worked out – the talent was incredible.
“I’m proud of Simon for not giving up, and proud of the boys. I think this group is going to be huge, they give me goosebumps when they perform. They could be the next One Direction.:”
Adding that she felt very protective over the boys – the oldest of whom is just 19, she explained, “I already feel like the band’s big sister. I’ve been giving them advice, making sure they stay focused and don’t get caught up in the lights and the glamour, as has everyone.
“You’ve got to protect your mental health and I do remind them of that, and to always be kind. That’s sustained me in this business..I just want them to be happy and they are – they are buzzing. They’re like 7 puppies running about in a garden right now, they’re so cute.
