To mark their first birthday as a band, Britain’s brand-new boy band December 10 have announced a massive party, with a headline show at London’s Eventim Apollo on Thursday 10th December – their biggest show yet!
December 10’s new show announcement arrives hot on the heels of the band performing summer of festivals across the UK, Europe and Asia and release of their debut EP, On Your Side.
December 10 – Cruz (20), Danny (17), Hendrik (20), John (18), Josh (17), Nicolas (17) and Seán (19) – formed on camera during Netflix’s docuseries Simon Cowell: The Next Act (released worldwide on 10 December 2025), and have quickly built a devoted fanbase through their live shows and social media presence since signing to EMI Records. Nine months on from their reveal on the global series, the hugely fun and charismatic septet have already packed more into their career to date than many acts manage in years
December 10 have already amassed over 30 million streams, 27 million YouTube views and 4.5 million social media followers. Their debut EP, On Your Side, entered the UK Official Albums Chart at number five, making it the highest-charting EP of 2026 and officially the highest-charting debut EP by a British boy band in over a decade. The band also sold out two tour runs this year within minutes. Internationally, they made their festival debut at Ultra Teens Fest Japan, and returned to play at Summer Sonic Festival in Japan before their recent Festival performance at Reading & Leeds in the UK.
December 10 are not just brilliant singers but accomplished musicians too, playing 14 instruments between them: Nicolas plays guitar and harmonica; Danny plays guitar; Josh plays guitar, cajón and drums; Hendrik plays guitar, bass and piano; Seán plays guitar, piano and harmonica; while John was due to take Grade 8 clarinet and piano this year – until life got a bit busy.
December 10 are very much a boy band for our times: a truly inclusive group representing Chorley, Rochester, Dublin, London, Lisbon and Walsall, with Irish, Brazilian, Indian, Nigerian and Jamaican heritage between them. Their musical influences are just as expansive – ranging from Fela Kuti, Daft Punk, Brent Faiyaz and Steve Lacy to Pearl Jam, Freddie Mercury, The Notorious B.I.G., Catfish and the Bottlemen, Sabrina Carpenter and Usher, alongside Brazilian icons such as Legião Urbana and Cazuza.
Fun, high-energy and utterly endearing, December 10 are rapidly carving out their place among Britain’s most talked-about new pop bands. Tickets for December 10’s first birthday go on sale Friday 11th September at 9.30am HERE
