O2 today announced that December 10 (D10) – the seven-piece boyband taking the country by storm since their formation on Netflix series Simon Cowell: The Next Act show last year – will play an exclusive O2 presents… show for fans on Wednesday 8 April at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire. Tickets to the show will be FREE and made exclusively available to O2 and Virgin Media broadband customers.
The band – which consists of Cruz Lee-Ojo, 19, Danny Bretherton, 17 Hendrik Christoffersen, 19, John Fadare, 17, Josh Olliver, 17, Nicolas Alves, 17, and Seán Hayden, 19 – announced the one-off gig during a livestream at Virgin Media Gamepad at The O2 last night.
Having released their debut single Run My Way just last month, the up-and-comers, who play 14 instruments between them, will treat fans to an hour-long set at the iconic O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire – their biggest headline show to date.
Less than three months on from their reveal on Netflix’s global series Simon Cowell: The Next Act, and newly signed to EMI Records, December 10 are moving at a relentless pace. They’ve performed 13 sold-out live shows across the UK and Ireland and racked up millions of followers across socials and over half a million monthly listeners on Spotify. While the official music video for their debut single “Run My Way” and their stripped-back take on NSYNC’s “Bye, Bye, Bye” have tipped past 1.9 million and 1.8 million organic YouTube views respectively.
O2 and Virgin Media broadband customers have the chance to win a pair of tickets for FREE through a ballot on Priority, which opens on Monday 9 March and closes on 23 March. Priority members can enter the ballot via the Priority app.
December 10 commented: “It’s a dream come true for us to play O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire – we always used to stay near there so we have walked past it hundreds of times – genuinely dreaming of when we got to play there. We are buzzin’ that it’s happening already. This is our biggest crowd to date – we can’t wait to get on stage and share our music with you all – see you there!”
Gareth Griffiths, Director, Partnerships and Sponsorship at Virgin Media O2, added: “Our O2 Presents… gig series is all about creating unmissable and unforgettable music moments for our customers. December 10 is one of the most exciting bands around and O2 couldn’t be happier to champion them and invite fans along on their journey to superstardom – it’s going to be a night we’ll be talking about for a very long time.”
