THEMES

CRICKET STADIUM ENTERTAINMENT

Following the launch of The Hundred in 2021, ON THE SLY returned to work alongside Progress Productions to develop team walk-on music for the competition’s later seasons.

Working with Birmingham Phoenix, Manchester Originals and Welsh Fire, we created bespoke walk-on themes for each team as players entered the field in front of packed stadium crowds.

Each piece was designed to reflect the character of the team and its home city, drawing on bold, anthemic structures and familiar musical references to build anticipation as players took to the field.

Played live in stadiums as part of the match presentation, the tracks helped reinforce team identity and energise the crowd at key moments of the game.

Across multiple seasons, the music has become part of how The Hundred sounds in the stadium, connecting teams with their home audiences as players walk out to the field.

This project forms part of ON THE SLY’s wider work creating music and sound design for live broadcast, stadium entertainment and large-scale public events.
