Rita Ora and Clean Bandit to headline blockbuster T20WC 2026 finale

Music, culture and sports will unite to provide an exciting end to the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 on Sunday.

Two chart-topping global superstar acts will take the stage before and after the T20 World Cup final.

Rita Ora will headline the closing ceremony, beginning at 2.30pm local time, bringing her electrifying stage presence and chart-topping catalogue to Lord’s, one of sport’s most iconic venues.

That won’t be the end of entertainment on the day as multi-platinum electronic pop phenomenon Clean Bandit’s performance will be the grand finale, bringing their signature anthems to the crowd once the champions are crowned.

Six-time champions Australia have already booked their spot in the final while unbeaten tournament hosts England face-off against South Africa in the second semi-final at The Oval on 2 July.

The final to the biggest-ever Women’s T20 World Cup is on track to be a complete sell-out, as cricket fans and music lovers alike flock to Lord's for what promises to be a historic occasion both on and off the field.

This closing ceremony is a follow-up to an enthralling opening on 12 June, where before the first game of the tournament between England and Sri Lanka, the cast of the hit West End and Broadway production of Wicked brought the magic of musical theatre to the cricket field, kicking off the tournament in spectacular and unprecedented fashion.

Spectators requested to be seated by 2pm to ensure they are settled in time for the performances.
