Kneecap are a Belfast-based hip-hop trio - Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí - who burst onto the scene in 2017 with the Irish-language single “C.E.A.R.T.A.” Their debut album 3CAG (2018) fused punchy beats, bilingual lyrics and sharp political satire, quickly earning critical acclaim. In June 2024 they released Fine Art, a sophomore album notable for its fusion of Irish and English, rave-influenced rhythms and collaborations with artists like Grian Chatten and Jelani Blackman. That same year saw the release of Kneecap, a semi-fictional biopic directed by Rich Peppiatt that premiered at Sundance - the first Irish-language film ever screened there.
On stage, Kneecap are known for charged, unforgettable performances. They’ve wowed audiences at Glastonbury’s West Holts and festival stages across Europe, and played their biggest UK headline tour in November 2025, including sold-out shows at O2 Academies in Liverpool, Leeds and Birmingham, capped by a major night at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro. Their live presence often combines energetic music with provocative political commentary, touching on Irish-language rights, working-class Belfast life and international solidarity. Whether blending satire, bold identity and dancefloor energy, Kneecap remain a restless, passionate force in UK and Irish music.
The event is taking place at OVO Hydro, Glasgow. See individual listings for full venue details.
