Sauchiehall Street<\/a> today.<\/p>\nHundreds of fans are expected to head along for the special performances at 5pm and 8pm, which have been arranged to celebrate the release of their new album, Fenian<\/p>\n
The group have already enjoyed release parties in Dundee and Newcastle, and Liam Og O hAnnaidh, Naoise O Caireallain, and JJ O Dochartaigh are now getting Glasgow fans together to celebrate their second studio album.<\/p>\n
The band were due to play last summer\u2019s TRNSMT festival, but were cut from the line-up over safety concerns raised by the police.<\/p>\n
And just hours ahead of the first Sunday show The Garage warned those attending about a list of items that are banned.<\/p>\n
These include flags, balaclavas and football strips.<\/p>\n
A statement from The Garage says: “Please note the following items will not be permitted inside the Kneecap shows on Sunday, May 3. Flags, balaclavas, football strips.<\/p>\n
“Anyone who has any of these items on their person will have them confiscated and returned to them at the end of the concert. We appreciate your understanding on this matter.”<\/p>\n
Last year, the band faced a police probe into their Glastonbury performance. Their expletive-riddled set included calls to \u2018free Palestine\u2019 and chants of \u2018f*** Keir Starmer\u2019. The probe was dropped after the band pointed out that they did not call for a riot to take place.<\/p>\n
The group hit the headlines again a month later when O hAnnaidh, who goes by the stage name Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence over claims he had displayed a Hezbollah flag during a 2024 gig at the O2 Forum in London. Hezbollah are proscribed as a terror organisation by the British Government.<\/p>\n
The allegation was dropped in September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The controversial Irish rap trio are holding two concerts in Glasgow on Sunday to celebrate the launch of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":564554,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,10730,59,679,193545,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-564553","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-events","tag-gb","tag-glasgow","tag-sauchiehall-street","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564553","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=564553"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564553\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/564554"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=564553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=564553"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=564553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
