Irish rap trio Kneecap have announced their biggest UK headline show to date, taking place at London's OVO Arena Wembley on 18 September.
The Belfast-based group, Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí, shared the news on social media with the message: "The belly of the beast – let’s go."
Tickets go on pre-sale via the group’s WhatsApp channel from 10am on Wednesday, with general sale on Friday.
The announcement follows a run of high-profile festival appearances, including a sold-out set at London’s Wide Awake Festival and a confirmed slot at this year’s Glastonbury. However, they were recently pulled from the TRNSMT festival line-up in Glasgow after police raised safety concerns. A replacement headline show at Glasgow’s O2 Academy is now scheduled for July.
Kneecap made headlines last month when group member Mo Chara (real name Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh) was charged with a terror offence in the UK relating to an alleged incident at a London gig in 2023. The group have denied any wrongdoing and said they intend to defend the charge.
Their upcoming Irish shows include a sold-out gig at Dublin’s Fairview Park on 19 June and two nights at the 3Arena on 16 and 17 December.
