H2: December 10 release first live performance after Netflix debut

Simon Cowell’s new boy band, December 10, have shared their first full performance footage — a live acoustic rendition of NSYNC’s 2000 hit “Bye Bye Bye” — recorded at London’s Metropolis Studios. The performance follows the global release of Netflix’s Simon Cowell: The Next Act, a series documenting Cowell’s search to form a modern pop group.

H3: Rapid social growth and label backing

Formed on the show and now signed to Island/EMI (part of Universal Music), the december 10 boy band has already seen a surge in online attention. Their official TikTok account jumped to around 211,000 followers and their Instagram to roughly 77,000 following the documentary’s debut. That early momentum puts the group on a clear commercial footing ahead of any official single release.

H3: Who’s in the band and who’s behind them

December 10 comprises seven members: Cruz (19), Danny (17), Hendrick (19), John (17), Josh (17), Nicolas (16) and Sean (19). Their launch has been shaped by an experienced team of industry figures. A&R and production contributors include Robert “Raab” Stevenson, Kamille, Poo Bear, Rami Yacoub, Julian Bunetta and Savan Kotecha — a roll call of hitmakers who have worked with artists from Justin Timberlake to Ariana Grande.

Management and label support come from Cassandra Gracey (Gracey&Co.), Island/EMI president Louis Bloom and a wider marketing and media team at Universal Music UK. Bloom said: “The guys have great voices, incredible energy and are an absolute pleasure to work with and I’m positive that their talent, charisma and star quality will win them masses of fans.”

H3: What they said

Simon Cowell told viewers and fans: “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.” In a group statement the boys added they want to “make amazing music” and “show people that the British boyband is back… with a bang!”

H2: What’s next for December 10

With heavy-hitting songwriting and production support and a major-label team already in place, attention now turns to what December 10 will release next and how the band will translate Netflix exposure into chart success. Their first public performance footage gives a glimpse of their vocal chemistry and pop potential; fans will be watching for original music and official singles in 2026.
