West Belfast hip-hop group Kneecap have today announced a headline show in Dublin’s Academy venue on October 3rd.

The trio, who came to our attention mid-2018, have been relentlessly touring and promoting their largely as Gaeilge breed of hip-hop. Although controversial, the group are as much about substance as style.


Recently, the group managed to get kicked out the UCD Clubhouse at their own gig, upset and the DUP and appear on the BBC.
