Kneecap to play Glasgow after TRSNMT gig cancelled

At the end of May, Police Scotland raised safety issues that led to the removal of the Belfast rap group Kneecap from the TRNSMT festival lineup in Glasgow.
The removal followed a Metropolitan Police investigation into rapper Mo Chara, charged for displaying a Hezbollah flag on stage last November.
Kneecap organized a sold-out replacement gig at the O2 Academy in Glasgow on Tuesday, days before TRNSMT begins on Friday, July 11, 2025.
Police Scotland stated a 'proportionate and considered policing plan' will support Kneecap's gig and other events to ensure safety and minimize disruption.
Kneecap deny supporting Hamas or Hezbollah and continue performing at scheduled festivals despite legal issues involving their political expressions.
