The Belfast trio made their US TV debut on The Tonight Show presented by Jimmy Fallon last night.
The band performed ‘Sick In The Head’, the recent single from the upcoming album Fine Art, which came after the band’s film was picked up at Sundance in January.
Watch the performance:
If anyone was hoping for a repeat of Kneecap’s solidarity last Friday night during the Late Late Show on RTÉ where the band agreed to not wear pro-Palestinian clothing, only to make a point of doing so live on air (rewatch that below), Kneecap said on Instagram after the show, that due to Fallon being a pre-record, it was not possible for them to do a similar showing of support on US TV.
They said, “we will always use our voice to speak about the genocide being committed against the Palestinian people, sadly being facilitated by the U.S.”
