Irish Rap Group Kneecap Projects Aggressive Pro-Palestine, Anti-Israel Messages During Coachella Sets
Irish rap group Kneecap outwardly supported Palestine during their Coachella performances.
The Irish rap group Kneecap continued to ignite controversy at Coachella ’s second weekend by criticizing Israel for its ongoing war in Gaza and leading a “free Palestine” chant during their set. Last week, the band claimed on X that Coachella had censored their protest, but assured the festival over social media that they would be “back next Friday” and it would “be sorted.” During their weekend two set, the band started a “free, free Palestine chant,” and stated “the Irish are not so longer persecuted under the Brits, but we were never bombed under the fucking skies with nowhere to go.” Let’s not lose sight of who this man is, and let us stand with him in this moment when a group, without his knowing, took advantage of his festival and created hate in a place that’s filled with love.”
