Jax Jones To Perform At The Hundred Final
Dance music DJ Jax Jones will perform at The Hundred Final at Lord’s in London on 21st August.
The news comes on top of the release of his brand-new track ‘Feels’, which will be the official song to the new 100-ball cricket competition, featuring on The Hundred advert and in Sky Sports coverage.
To coincide with the announcement, the ECB has also announced that a limited number of tickets have already been made available to purchase for The Hundred Final.
Jones will also give his support to The Hundred Rising – a programme of opportunities for 100 people across England and Wales to get involved in producing the competition. He will offer one successful applicant a hands-on content creation experience – the winner will go behind the scenes with his team to capture content of his performance that will be used across the competition’s social media channels.

“I’m excited for the song to soundtrack new memories this summer for everyone who’s been waiting for freedom and celebration for so long,” said Jones.
“Collaborating with The Hundred is perfect for this, bringing people together through sport and music is always a vibe!
“Shared experiences are what we all need right now and performing live for everyone at The Hundred Final is exactly the kind of moment I pictured when writing Feels. I’m also proud to support new talent through The Hundred Rising. Championing young creatives is hugely important to me, so giving them a platform to share their work was an obvious one – I’m excited to see what they bring.”
The news comes after The Hundred launched a new partnership with BBC Music Introducing, which will see an up and coming DJ embedded into each of the eight new teams. The DJs will curate a unique soundtrack that will be reflective of their city and the people within it, with music on offer aiming to bring fans into the action and create a ‘sound’ for each team.
Live acts will perform at all games, with the likes of The Orielles, Jerub, Lady Sanity, Coach Party, and Rachel K Collier bringing a ‘festival vibe’ to the competition.
