Hampshire Hawks' Vitality Blast fixture against Yorkshire on Friday 26 June will be transformed into BLAST FEST, combining T20 cricket, live music and summer entertainment for one of the biggest matchdays of the season.
Taking place at Utilita Bowl, BLAST FEST will see supporters enjoy a festival-inspired matchday experience featuring live music from fan-favourite band The Anthems, festival performers, entertainment around the ground and two Vitality Blast fixtures featuring the Hawks Women and Men.
The event arrives as Hampshire Hawks continue an impressive start to the 2026 Vitality Blast campaign, with tickets selling fast, Ticket+ and hospitality now sold out, availability is becoming increasingly limited following strong demand.
BLAST FEST will also provide supporters with a rare opportunity to watch Yorkshire in Vitality Blast action at Utilita Bowl.
The fixture is one of the competition's unique cross-over fixtures, where counties face opponents from outside their regional group.
Yorkshire are not part of the South Group, meaning opportunities to see them at Utilita Bowl are exceptionally rare. In fact, Hampshire and Yorkshire have met only once before in T20 cricket – the 2012 Finals Day showpiece, where Hampshire defeated Yorkshire to secure their second T20 title.
BLAST FEST has been designed to deliver more than just cricket.
Alongside Vitality Blast action on the pitch, supporters can enjoy live music from The Anthems, festival performers, food and drink outlets and a vibrant summer atmosphere throughout the evening.
The fixture forms part of the final four Vitality Blast home matchdays of the summer and comes at a crucial stage of the competition as Hampshire's men look to maintain their place at the top of the South Group and the women continue their push towards the knockout stages.
Tickets for BLAST FEST are available from £29 for adults, with junior tickets priced at just £5.
Group discounts are available for groups of six or more.
Demand for BLAST FEST has been strong, with Ticket+ and hospitality now sold out. Supporters are encouraged to secure tickets soon to avoid disappointment.
The best value way to experience the rest of the Hampshire Hawks Vitality Blast season is with a 4 Match Pass, giving supporters access to all four remaining Hawks home Vitality Blast fixtures at Utilita Bowl for just £65.
