Simon Cowell, who put together One Direction, is looking for talented performers to create a new boy band
Simon Cowell is back — and he wants to create the next boy band 14 years after the success of One Direction.
While Cowell was a judge on The X Factor in the 2000s, he famously brought together Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and Liam Payne to form One Direction in 2010. While the group went on hiatus in 2016, they all went on to pursue solo careers. Cowell added that forming a “great group” is like finding “lightning in a bottle” — and he’s hoping he’ll be lucky enough to strike twice. The singing competition judge put out a call to action on Tuesday with a billboard in London to announce his search for musicians for a new band.
Cowell will host auditions across England and Ireland in July and August. He'll make stops in Newcastle, Liverpool, London and Dublin. He is looking for “talented males aged 16-18 who possess the passion, charisma, and star quality to form the next boy band sensation.” Anyone interested in trying out for the group can fill out an application on Cowell’s website.
