Welcome to the application website for an opportunity to get in front of Simon Cowell and audition to become a part of his next new boyband!

We also need you to go through the eligibility requirements, terms and conditions, privacy notices and other formalities.

If you are selected and later found out to not meet the eligibility requirements and/or to be in breach of the terms and conditions, you may be disqualified or otherwise removed from taking part in the Programme.
