Kneecap to play Dublin's Fairview Park on 19 June

Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap are set to take to the stage under a big tent in Dublin's Fairview Park on Thursday, 19 June.

The gig comes after a wildly busy and occasionally tumultuous time for the Belfast group, consisting of Móglaí Bap, Mo Chara, and DJ Próvaí.

In May, Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, whose stage name is Mo Chara, was charged with a terrorism offence over the alleged displaying of a flag in support of Hezbollah at a gig in London last November.

The group have denied any wrongdoing and said they intend to defend the charge. Ó hAnnaidh is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 18 June, the day before the band's Fairview date.

The rapper said he believed the prosecution was designed to "silence us" and prevent them playing Glastonbury Festival, with the band set to make their debut at Worthy Farm on Saturday 28 June with a set on the West Holts stage.
