Kneecap<\/a> have announced plans for a huge world tour including UK and Ireland dates \u2013 check them out below.<\/p>\n

Fresh from their performance at Reading and Leeds<\/a>, the Belfast rap trio have announced a huge jaunt kicking off at Pabell\u00f3n Oestein in Mexico on October 15.<\/p>\n

From there the band will kick off a series of UK and Ireland dates in support of their new album \u2018Fenian<\/a>\u2019, the following month starting at the O2 Guildhall Southampton on November 28.<\/p>\n

Further dates will call at Bristol, Wolverhampton, Manchester, Newcastle, Hull, Swansea, Glasgow, Liverpool, Bradford and Nottingham before wrapping up at Dublin 3Arena on December 16.<\/p>\n

Tickets go on sale this Friday (September 4) at 10am BST and can be purchased here<\/a>. You can view the full list of dates below.<\/p>\n

The rap trio were recently awarded four and a half stars for their performance at Reading on Sunday (August 30), with NME describing<\/a> the \u201cBelfast trouble-mongers delivering a feel-good blast to end the weekend\u201d.<\/p>\n

It added: \u201cAn arena-busting live show with the spirit of a lock-in but with the pulse and spectacle of The Chemical Brothers<\/a>, the electro-punk abandon of\u00a0The Prodigy<\/a>, and the truth-spitting fire of\u00a0Public Enemy<\/a> \u2013 with an eyegasm live production to match.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their recent album also received a four and a half star review from <\/a>NME<\/a>. <\/p>\n

We said: \u201c\u2018Fenian\u2019 is a spraypainted brick wall of consistency, amplifying the adventure of The Prodigy<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Burial<\/a>, seamlessly but tastefully hopping genres while keeping the vibe up to retain Kneecap\u2019s knack for having a good time to illuminate the hard times<\/a>. Put all the rage-bait headlines aside and what you\u2019re left with is a solid, progressive and fearless album from a group that could just as easily be dicking around instead of making music that matters. In that sense at least, their day has come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morello recently described Kneecap as\u00a0\u201cclearly the Rage Against The Machine of now\u201d<\/a>, praising the trio for their outspoken political stance. \u201cWhat they\u2019re doing in their art is what people could probably stand to do more in their lives: to really speak truth to power,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The comments prompted\u00a0Disturbed\u00a0frontman\u00a0David Draiman to call Morello \u201cshameful\u201d<\/a>, before Kneecap responded by describing Draiman as a\u00a0\u201cstraight up c**t\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kneecap have announced plans for a huge world tour including UK and Ireland dates \u2013 check them out…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":611941,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[93,61,60,15533,646],"class_list":["post-611940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-live-music-news","tag-rap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/611940","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=611940"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/611940\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/611941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=611940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=611940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=611940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
