Global phenomenon Kneecap announce their biggest ever live show for Dublin’s Fairview Park on 19 June 2025. Tickets €59.90 go on general sale this Saturday 2 November at 10am from ticketmaster.ie. Subject to licence.
Live, Kneecap continues to electrify festivals and venues around the world. A morning gig at Glastonbury’s Woodsies stage in the summer of 2024 filled the tent with thousands of fans, their festival appearance capped off with an epic late-night show at Shangri-La, where Noel Gallagher waited backstage to heap praise on the group. Their autumn US tour saw sold out gigs across multiple American cities. 2024 was capped off with a series of sold out shows across Ireland, including five consecutive dates in Dublin, yet another sold out run of gigs across England, Scotland and Wales, and a massive arena show in their hometown of Belfast.
2025 will see Kneecap join forces with Fontaines D.C. for a massive outdoor show at Finsbury Park in London, touring Australia and New Zealand, and back in the studio with Toddla T to record their follow-up to Fine Art, with all eyes increasingly focussed on the previously outlandish prospect of Kneecap bringing their brand of genius creativity to the Oscars red carpet.
Kneecap is a global phenomenon. Bursting out from a squat in Belfast, Móglaí Bap, Mo Chara, and DJ Próvaí are spearheading a moment in Irish culture, music, language, and cinema that has brought them to sensational levels. All it took was a generational talent to tear through conventions, expectations, and records. This is hip-hop at its most exciting – a potent and revolutionary force, smashing bans, barricades, and the occasional bottle of Buckfast.
Their fiercely intelligent breakthrough concept album, Fine Art (2024), was produced by Toddla T, and set across a raucous night out, traversing a fantasy pub called The Rutz, with adventures spilling out onto the streets of Belfast and London, during ketamine and cocaine binges gone wrong (and right), and featuring guest appearances from Lankum’s Radie Peat, Fontaines DC’s Grian Chatten and Tom Coll, alongside Jelani Blackman and Annie Mac.
Kneecap’s self-titled film, starring the band members as themselves alongside Michael Fassbender, earned a consistent 97 per cent rating from both critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, won an Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival, and became the first film ever to bag a hat-trick of awards – Best Irish Film, Best Irish Language Film, and the Audience Award – at the Galway Film Fleadh, leading to the film becoming Ireland’s official entry for Best International Feature Film for the 2025 Academy Awards. Bought by Sony Pictures Classics, the film enjoyed an unprecedented release across hundreds of north American theatres, and was described by Trainspotting author, Irvine Welsh as “f***ing phenomenal”, “gleefully chaotic” by The New York Times, “wonderfully offbeat” by Variety, with The Hollywood Reporter favourably comparing the film to 8 Mile and A Hard Day’s Night.
