Kneecap

As the gig draws to a climactic close with two truly huge tunes HOOD and CEARTA (RIGHTS), I'm left a little stunned, a little euphoric and a little speechless.

Why see Kneecap?
Irish Hip Hop Sensations
Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap head to London for their biggest headline show to date! The bilingual rappers' explosive live shows and unapologetic messaging guarantees a fiery experience wherever they play. With a loyal fanbase across Europe and growing buzz worldwide following the release of their multi-award winning biographical movie in 2024, every Kneecap show right now is a must-attend event.
Hailing from Belfast in Northern Ireland, Kneecap consists of rappers Mo Chara and Mgla Bap, along with DJ Prva. They rap in both Irish (Gaeilge) and English, they first rose to prominence with their breakout single "C.E.A.R.T.A" in 2017, which was banned from radio at the time. Often tackling issues such as language preservation, class struggles, and Irish identity and independence, Kneecap's fierce anti-establishment message has often courted controversy, including a well-publicised standoff with the British government in 2024. Their fearless approach has earned them critical acclaim and a reputation as one of the most exciting acts in modern Irish music and not one to miss!
