kneecap Announces London Wembley Arena Show
Belfast hip-hop trio Kneecap is set to perform their largest English show to date at London’s OVO Wembley Arena on Sept. 18. The declaration follows their recent performance at London’s Wide Awake festival.
Tickets for the 12,500-capacity Wembley Arena show go on presale June 4 at 10 a.m. BST,with general sale starting June 6 at 10 a.m. BST.
The group gained attention after their Coachella performances in April,where they voiced support for palestine. The message led to a split with their booking agent and criticism from public figures.
In late May, member Mo Chara, also known as Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, was charged with a terror offense related to past videos allegedly showing support for Hamas and Hezbollah. Ó hAnnaidh denies the charge, calling it a distraction from the Gaza crisis. He is scheduled to appear in Westminster Magistrates’ Court on June 18.
The controversy resulted in canceled shows in Germany and removals from the Eden Session lineup in Cornwall and TRNSMT in Glasgow. Though, replacement gigs in nearby cities quickly sold out. Several artists, including Massive Attack and Brian Eno, have publicly supported Kneecap, defending artistic freedom.
Kneecap is still scheduled to perform at Glastonbury Festival later this month, and also Green Man, 2000 Trees, and shows with Fontaines D.C. in Belfast in August. the group released their album ”fine Art” in 2024 and are currently working on new music.
What’s next
Kneecap’s upcoming Wembley Arena show marks a important moment for the group,testing their ability to navigate controversy while maintaining their artistic voice and growing fanbase.
