As well as the performances taking place at The Ageas Bowl, other artists will perform in front of large audiences at some of the UK’s biggest cricket grounds, including Lord’s (London), The Kia Oval (London), Edgbaston (Birmingham), Emirates Old Trafford (Manchester), Sophia Gardens (Cardiff), Headingley (Leeds), and Trent Bridge (Nottingham).

Kicking off on 3 August, The Hundred is cricket’s high-octane competition which fuses world class sport with spectacular entertainment. The competition gives fans the chance to watch some of the best players in the world compete alongside epic music performances in a high energy, family-friendly environment. 

Wild Front, who will perform at The Ageas Bowl in Southampton on 18th August, said: “We’re so excited to hit the stage at this incredible venue so close to where we started out as a band. We were so impressed by The Hundred’s stellar line-up last year and are very proud to be a part of the competition this summer.”   

In its first year in 2021, The Hundred attracted some of the biggest names in UK music including Becky Hill, Everything Everything, and Self Esteem, plus breakthrough acts such as Sports Team and Lauran Hibberd who are now on everyone’s playlists. 2022’s line up is set to be an equally big hit with new and existing fans of the game.

Explosive Southern Brave batter Ross Whiteley said: “I loved playing for Southern Brave at The Ageas Bowl last year, and the atmosphere was a big part of that. Seeing the crowd, especially the kids, dancing and singing along is what made the games extra special, and I can’t wait to be back playing for the Brave this year.”
