Introduction

Prepare yourselves for a performance that's as bold and unapologetic as the band themselves.

About the Artist

Kneecap are a force of nature. Hailing from Belfast, the band, comprising Mo Chara, DJ Próvaí, and Naoise Ó Cairealláin, have carved out a distinctive niche with their fearless fusion of traditional Irish language (Gaeilge) lyrics delivered over hard-hitting hip-hop beats and punk-infused instrumentals. Their music is a potent cocktail of social commentary, wry observations on modern life in Ireland, and pure, unadulterated swagger. They rap and sing entirely in Gaeilge, making their message accessible and powerful to a growing international audience who are captivated by their raw authenticity and electrifying stage presence. Their live shows are legendary – a whirlwind of energy, crowd interaction, and anthemic choruses that leave everyone buzzing. They've garnered critical acclaim for their debut album 'Fine Art', which cemented their status as one of the most exciting and original acts to emerge from the UK in recent years.
