Pop Comes To Cricket

Atomic Kitten and Mis-Teeq, as well as newly emerging Irish boy band 'D'Side' have already been announced with more acts to be hopfully added.

The bands will all play in front of live audiences at some of the Twenty20 Cup matches while a re-mix of 10CC's 'Dreadlock Holiday' has been selected as the theme tune for the tournament.

Atomic Kitten, will play at the Finals Day to be held at Trent Bridge on Saturday 19 July. This will be the first time that a pop band has ever played at a major domestic cricket final in the UK. Supporting Atomic Kitten at Trent Bridge will be 'United Colours of Sound', who have re-mixed the old 10CC song 'Dreadlock Holiday' to become the theme tune of the competition.
