New Simon Cowell boy band December 10 has announced their first live shows, playing gigs in the UK and Ireland next month.

December 10 was formed from Netflix TV talent show Simon Cowell: The Next Act, and features Cruz Lee-Ojo, Danny Bretherton, Hendrik Christoffersen, John Fadare, Josh Olliver, Nicholas Alves, and Seán Hayden.

Their tour starts at Glasgow’s Òran Mór on 16 February 2026, and then visits the O2 Academy 3 Manchester (17 February), O2 Academy Islington in London (19 February), O2 Academy 2 Birmingham (20 February) and Academy Green Room Dublin (22 February).

The band members range in age from 16 to 19, and several have performed in West End shows and on The Voice Kids, including Cruz Lee-Ojo who starred as a young Michael Jackson in Motown: The Musical.

Also, John Fadare was about to make his West End debut, having secured a role in Paddington The Musical at the Savoy Theatre. However, he instead decided to sign on for the Netflix talent search.

The band was signed to EMI / Universal Music in December, and have released a cover of NSYNC’s Bye Bye Bye.

Simon Cowell said in a statement: “I’m not sure if this band found me or if it was the other way around however either way I am so happy the boys have a chance to do what they love. 7 genuine, talented, humble boys who walked in to meet me. I believe in them and I really like them. I wish them all true happiness doing something they love.”
