GCCC PRESS RELEASE
We’re proud to announce that INVADES – the day-party pioneers behind some of the country’s most talked-about race meets, polo afternoons and regatta takeovers – are coming to Nevil Road for the very first time as part of our opening Vitality Blast double-header in summer 2026.
It’s a milestone moment for Gloucestershire Cricket. We wanted our 2026 opening night to feel like one – and INVADES x Gloucestershire Cricket is exactly that: two matches, one ticket, an exclusive Grandstand, an open-air DJ set and a pre- and post-party that runs long after the last ball.

The inaugural INVADES event at the Seat Unique Stadium will take place on 22 May 2026 as Gloucestershire takes on Warwickshire Bears in a double header, with Gloucestershire Women set to take on Glamorgan. Prepare yourselves for some more monstrous sixes at the T20 Vitality Blast.
The Invades Tickets include:
– Men’s Game ticket for Gloucestershire vs Warwickshire Bears T20
– Women’s Game ticket for Gloucestershire vs Glamorgan T20
– INVADES exclusive Grandstand
– INVADES exclusive Pre & Post game Day Party
– Open-air DJ set
The afternoon belongs to Gloucestershire Women, who take on Glamorgan Women at 3pm. It’s the first fixture of the day and it’s the one we want everyone in their seats for. The women’s game is one of the fastest-growing parts of our sport, the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup arrives in Bristol later in the same summer, and there is no better way to back our players than a packed Seat Unique Stadium at first ball.
At 7pm, the Glorious Glosters take on the Warwickshire Bears under the lights. Around it all, INVADES bring their signature day-party energy: a pre-party from 6pm, the open-air DJ set between innings and into the evening, and a post-party that keeps Nevil Road moving for an hour after stumps.
Tickets are released in three phases and can be exclusively brought via FIXR. First release is £19 (plus £2.25 booking fee). Second release moves to £21.50 and a final third release will follow. The ticket includes entry to both matches, INVADES Grandstand access, the pre-party (6pm-6.30pm), the open-air DJ set and the post-party.
Optional return coach travel is available from Cardiff, the Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester, Gloucester city centre and Bath.
We’ve always said we want Seat Unique Stadium to be the best matchday in the country. INVADES is how we make this one extraordinary.
Please Note: INVADES may withdraw the event at any time. In case the event is cancelled, you will have the opportunity to either have a full refund or transfer the tickets to a Gloucestershire Cricket General Admission ticket for this fixture.
