Kneecap Play Fiery Glastonbury Set, Take Aim at U.K. Prime Minister: ‘F— Keir Starmer’
Kneecap performed to one of the biggest crowds of the weekend on Saturday (June 28) following weeks of controversy.
Historic footage of the band from November 2024 allegedly showing support for Hezbollah – a militant group proscribed terror status in the U.K. – triggered an investigation and eventual charge under anti-terror laws for MC Mo Chara. A number of the trio’s contemporaries, including Massive Attack, Johnny Marr and CMAT, have backed the group in recent weeks amidst a campaign to have the band removed from the lineup. “Glastonbury, I’m a free man,” Mo Chara shouted shortly after “It’s Been Ages.” The crowd responded by raising a sea of Palestinian flags, while some festivalgoers let off red and green flares in support.
