December 10 is a boy band formed in December of last year during the Netflix documentary series “Simon Cowell: The Next Act.” The group stopped in Paris for their very own European tour at the legendary venue Les Étoiles. For the first time, they performed in front of their French audience.
To form this group, Simon Cowell organized massive auditions in London, Dublin, Liverpool, and then Miami. More than 1,000 candidates auditioned before seven young boys were finally selected.
The group is composed of Cruz, Danny — who is not on this tour — Hendrik, John, Josh, Nicolas, and Seán, all aged between 16 and 19. The group is multicultural, and this diversity is part of their identity and their strength. These boys are seeing their dream come true.
After a long selection and audition process — if you haven’t seen the documentary, I highly recommend it — you’ll understand how much these boys have grown and all the steps they’ve taken to get to where they are today.
Through hard work and determination, despite their young age, they’ve had the opportunity to perform across Europe and meet their audiences and fans following the series’ huge success.
What’s really special about this venue is how close you are to the artists on stage. The fans were definitely there in full force, ready to meet the guys!
The show kicked off with NSYNC’s iconic “Bye Bye Bye” — in other words, the ultimate boy band anthem. Bursting with energy, they stormed the stage. They looked completely at ease and genuinely happy to be there. It was a beautiful sight.
You can really feel the chemistry between them; they’re close-knit and genuinely happy to be together. They don’t hesitate to show off a few dance moves, much to the delight of their fans!
Each member has his place, and every song is arranged so that each of the boys can showcase his talent and voice. The harmonies flow seamlessly, and they manage to put their own spin on every cover. I’m thinking in particular of Shawn Mendes’ “Treat You Better” and Sombr’s much-loved track “Homewrecker.”

But December 10 isn’t just about covers! They have a brand-new EP, “On Your Side,” set to be released on July 10, and they exclusively unveiled the track “What Are We Now,” a beautiful song full of emotion.
They also performed their previously released songs, “Run My Way” and “Angel“ — tracks that the fans already know by heart. They also treated us to their own take on Djo’s “End of Beginning,” in a version that felt completely their own.
I have to admit I was very impressed by their stage presence, their confidence, and their kindness toward their fans. They even returned for an encore, performing “Us Against the World” and “Infinity.” After the show, they even organized a huge meet-and-greet at the end to meet all the fans — a very beautiful addition for their audience.
I can’t wait to see them on stage again and watch them continue to develop and grow in every sense of the word.
