Kneecap & Grian Chatten – Better Way To Live (Official Video)

Here’s a summary of the NME article about Kneecap’s performance in Manchester:

Kneecap performed with Fontaines D.C.’s Grian‌ Chatten at a show in Manchester, playing their collaborative track “Better Way ‌To Live.” This isn’t a one-off; they’ve performed the song together ‍multiple times, including at Glastonbury, Belfast, on Irish ​TV, and in ‌London.The performance took place ‍amidst ongoing controversy surrounding the band. ​ They faced pressure to be ‍removed from the Wythenshawe park lineup due to their pro-Palestine views and a terrorism charge against band ‍member Mo Chara. The charge stemmed‌ from​ displaying a Hezbollah‍ flag and making comments​ about MPs at previous shows.

despite accusations of supporting terrorism and antisemitism, Kneecap has repeatedly ⁤denied these claims. Police have since decided not to ⁤prosecute Chara over the “kill your MP” comments. He is currently on bail and⁢ has a court date scheduled for August⁢ 20th.

Consequently ‌of the‍ controversy, kneecap was dropped from several other festivals including TRNSMT, Hurricane/Southside⁤ Festivals, and the Eden Project. However, they remained on the Wythenshawe Park bill.
