The All Together Now main stage was flooded with Palestinian flags, tri-colours and hand-made signs on Saturday night for Kneecap’s headline performance.<\/p>\n
The Belfast-bred hip hop trio are known for their politically charged lyrics, energetic performances and a unique blend of the Irish language with contemporary rap and they did not disappoint at this year’s All Together Now.<\/p>\n

An energetic crowd screamed along with the trio throughout the night, whether it was their iconic older tracks like ‘CEARTA’ and ‘Guilty Conscience’, or titles off their newly released album ‘FENIAN’.<\/p>\n
The trio ripped up a storm on stage<\/p>\n
Kneecap didn’t remain a trio for the night, with British spoken word performance artist Kae Tempest and members of the Irish folk band Biird joining the lads for ‘Irish Goodbye’, the final track on Kneecap’s latest album, featuring Kae Tempest and written in commemoration of M\u00f3gla\u00ed Bap’s mother, Irish language activist Aoife N\u00ed Riain.<\/p>\n
World-renowned activist Bernadette Devlin McAliskey also joined Kneecap on stage at Saturday night’s performance, where she gave a speech in support of a free Palestine, a cause the rap trio raised throughout the night.<\/p>\n

The 90 minute set was a serious stand out at this year’s festival, between the energetic performance, insane graphics and lighting set up on stage, and the music itself, Kneecap delivered in a big way for the All Together Now crowd. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The All Together Now main stage was flooded with Palestinian flags, tri-colours and hand-made signs on Saturday night…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":580842,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[93,61,60,278],"class_list":["post-580841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=580841"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580841\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/580842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=580841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=580841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=580841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
