Calls for ‘incendiary' Kneecap to be dropped from Glastonbury line-up
Organisers of Glastonbury and other festivals are being urged to drop Kneecap from their line-ups after two of the rappers' gigs were cancelled amid claims of their potentially promoting antisemitism.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) said anywhere hosting performances by the 'reckless and incendiary' trio, including venues in Dublin and Belfast, could be seen as 'sending a message that Jews are not welcome'.
Kneecap have courted further controversy this weekend after onstage calls to 'kill your MP', after sparking outrage by projecting the messages 'f*** Israel' and 'free Palestine' onto the backdrop of their set at the Coachella festival in California earlier this month.
The Irish-speaking Belfast group — with stage names DJ Próvaí, Mo Chara and Móglaí Bap — accused Israel of genocide during

Things you didn't know about Baileys
The name Baileys isn't Irish either According to the Irish Times , Gluckman and Seymour-Davies borrowed the name from Baileys Bistro, a restaurant located beneath their new office in SoHo, London. It just sounded right. Baileys comes in more flavours than you'd expect Above From Dublin to the world: Baileys has won hearts with its variety of flavour twists (photo: Getty Images / Monica Schipper) Beyond the original Irish Cream, the brand has expanded its repertoire to include indulgent favourites like Salted Caramel, Espresso Crème, Chocolate Cherry and Vanilla Cinnamon. Seasonal specials such as Pumpkin Spice keep things fresh, while the vegan-friendly Baileys Almande—made with almond milk—offers a plant-based option. Limited-edition releases such as Strawberries & Cream, Chocolat Luxe and Dulce de Leche (the latter exclusive to Mexico) prove Baileys isn't afraid to experiment. Pure ingredients, proudly sourced Each year, Baileys uses more than 250 million litres of fresh milk sourced directly from Ireland. According to a 2015 report by the Irish government's Merrion Street agency, this milk is collected from over 40,000 cows across 1,500 carefully selected farms. It is then transported to the Baileys facility in Dublin, where it becomes the cream used in the liqueur—a product with a shelf life of up to two years. Above Baileys has come to symbolise indulgence and ease (photo: Instagram / @baileysofficial) At least five men have laid claim to its creation The names most often associated with Baileys' beginnings include David Gluckman, David Dand, Mac Macpherson, Steve Wilson and Tom Jago. Among them, Jago is widely regarded as the most credible source. A pioneer in spirits innovation, he also helped create Johnnie Walker Blue Label and Malibu, and later co-founded The Last Drop Distillers with James Espey. According to Jago, Gluckman and Seymour-Davies were copywriters, Macpherson served as the chemist, Wilson assisted him, and Dand oversaw the project. Together, they experimented with a mix of whiskey, cream, sugar and chocolate, along with a name that would eventually become world-famous. A favourite among women Above Versatile and stylish, Baileys pairs beautifully with a wide range of treats (photo: Instagram / @baileysofficial) With an approachable alcohol content of around 17% and a soft, sweet profile, Baileys holds strong appeal, particularly among women. In 2014, Diageo launched a female-focused campaign titled 'This is for Us,' conceived by an all-female creative team at BBH London. According to Irish Central, the campaign was crafted specifically for the Millennial woman. It isn't just for after dinner In 2019, Baileys debuted a line of coffee creamers (think cold brews in flavours such as Caramel and Irish Coffee) aimed at brightening up your morning ritual. The brand has also ventured into desserts, releasing products like yoghurt and chocolate biscuits for fans wanting a little extra indulgence.

K-Pop acts that took over Coachella through the years
Epik High – 2016, 2022 Veterans of Korean hip-hop, Epik High brought swagger and lyricism in equal measure. Their 2016 debut was low-key but magnetic; by 2022, they returned, ready to remind the crowd that rhythm, when wielded right, can be its own form of rebellion. BLACKPINK – 2019, 2023 (and beyond) Above BLACKPINK - 'Pretty Savage' Live at Coachella 2023 If there's a singular inflexion point in this saga, it's BLACKPINK in 2019. As the first K-pop girl group to perform at Coachella, their set was sleek, searing, and historically resonant. By 2023, they weren't merely part of the festival—they were the festival. Headliners. Icons. Four solo stages. One cultural phenomenon. And in 2025, Lisa and Jennie return, each taking the stage on their own terms, a kind of glittering déjà vu with more diamonds and fewer doubts. 2NE1 – 2022 A reunion whispered about in forums and willed into existence by collective nostalgia. When 2NE1 appeared, unannounced, to perform I Am the Best , time collapsed. It was a reminder that K-pop's history is rich, complicated, and deeply adored. aespa – 2022 Above aespa vlogs at Coachella Where 2NE1 summoned memory, aespa conjured the future. Their Coachella debut was all metaverse and momentum, a sonic spectacle powered by AI avatars and cybernetic flair. In a sea of indie boys and recycled synths, aespa felt like a glitch in the matrix—in the best possible way. Jackson Wang – 2022, 2023 Above Jackson Wang - Coachella 2023 Tech Rehearsal Video Charisma in human form, Jackson Wang was a moment in Coachella. His 2022 debut was charged, but 2023 saw him enter a new gear, teaming up with BIBI for Feeling Lucky before launching into a set that blurred the line between pop concert and fever dream. BIBI – 2022, 2023 Sultry, strange, and sublime, BIBI brings an edge that's hard to define. Her 2022 set hinted at chaos; her 2023 duet with Jackson confirmed it. Hers is a performance style that resists polish—and therein lies its power. DPR LIVE and DPR IAN – 2023 Think less boy band, more cinematic universe. The DPR collective delivered a visceral, genre-hopping performance in 2023, equal parts poetry and pyrotechnics. R&B, hip-hop, and the occasional existential crisis—all in one set. ATEEZ – 2024 Above ATEEZ in Coachella It took over a decade, but Coachella finally welcomed its first K-pop boy group in 2024. Their performance was a masterclass in stamina and synchronisation, the kind of set that leaves both fans and festival execs wondering: why didn't this happen sooner? LE SSERAFIM – 2024 With elegance and edge, LE SSERAFIM captivated 2024 audiences, melding powerful choreography with vocals that felt both sharp and tender. Theirs is a group that understands the paradox of performance—precision that still feels free. The Rose – 2024 For those seeking something quieter, something aching, The Rose offered respite. Their 2024 set was plaintive and poetic, a balm amidst the bombast. Proof that K-pop isn't a monolith—it's a spectrum. ENHYPEN – 2025 Above ENHYPEN at Coachella 2025 A newer group with old-school polish, ENHYPEN's arrival in 2025 felt inevitable—like the beat drop you know is coming, but still sends shivers when it hits.

Israeli FM condemns attack on Jewish jeweller in Tunisia
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar has condemned an attack on a Tunisian Jewish jeweller on the island of Djerba, urging Tunisian authorities to implement all necessary measures to protect the Jewish community. Writing on his X account, Sa'ar stated: 'I strongly condemn the attack that targeted a member of the Jewish community in Djerba, Tunisia, today. I wish the injured a speedy recovery.' He continued: 'This attack comes two years after the previous bloody attack that claimed the lives of Jews and members of the security forces during the Lag B'Omer celebrations.' Tunisian media had previously reported that a Tunisian Jewish jeweller was attacked with a sharp object, resulting in severe injuries to his hand. According to reports, a dispute erupted between the jeweller and the attacker, though the reasons remain unclear. The LDJ website quoted Yaniv, son of the Chief Rabbi of Djerba and owner of a nearby jewellery store, recounting the incident during a telephone call with Chief Rabbi Moshe Lewin. Yaniv said, 'Yesterday, the assailant went around the shops in the area, asking if they were owned by Jews, and then returned this morning carrying a large knife.' Yaniv noted that the victim 'survived thanks to the brave and quick intervention of the neighbours, who are themselves members of the Jewish community.' An unverified video of the attack has been circulated online by activists. No official statement has yet been issued regarding the incident, but sources close to the matter reported that the assailant is a resident of Ajim city on Djerba who lives in a working-class neighbourhood in the capital. A dispute reportedly broke out between the victim and 'Youssef Y.', the owner of a jewellery store in the area, which escalated until the assailant drew a knife. Both parties were subsequently brought under control and transferred to the National Security District headquarters in Djerba. The shop owner sustained a minor elbow injury in the incident. His condition is described as normal, and he is currently in the custody of local National Security.
