Kneecap announce 'biggest run of shows ever'
The move comes after Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was charged in May with a terrorism offence relating to displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, north London, during a gig in November 2024.
The group said their actions, including holding the Hezbollah flag, had been taken out of context.
Announcing the news on Tuesday, the group - which is made up of O hAnnaidh, Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh - shared a post on Instagram with the caption that read: "Here we go.
"We're back in November across Scotland, England and Wales to play our biggest run of shows ever.
"The prime minster himself cant stop us ... he could stop sending bombs to Israel but that's another story ..."
The group are known for speaking out against the war in Gaza, and recently performed to a sea of Palestinian flags during their set at Glastonbury Festival in June.
They claim the controversies surrounding the group are part of a smear campaign against them because of their vocal support for Palestine and criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza, which they say is a genocide.
The group recently performed at Glasgow's O2 Academy, in a gig which sold out in 80 seconds.
They were due to perform at TRNSMT festival in Glasgow, but their set was axed after concerns raised by police.
Their tour will start in Bournemouth on November 14 before moving on to Liverpool, Newcastle and Glasgow.
Kneecap will also perform in London at a previously announced show at OVO Arena Wembley on September 18.
Belfast rap trio Kneecap have announced new tour dates to play their "biggest run of shows ever" across Scotland, Wales and England.

Tame Impala frontman cryptically teases new music
Kevin Parker has teased a new Tame Impala album. The 39-year-old musician has cryptically suggested that new material from his musical project could be on the way as fans eagerly await a follow-up to the 2020 album The Slow Rush. Kevin has posted a series of photos on Instagram, including one of him in the studio, one containing a progress chart of a track list – many marked with the word 'done' alongside them. The post also included a snap of Parker posing with his wife Stephanie Lawrence, who is pregnant with the couple's second child. He captioned the upload: 'Been busy.' Tame Impala's website also suggests that new music could be on the way after a cryptic update suddenly appeared that altered the site' interface. Intriguingly, the page's source code has also been changed and the message 'iwaitedtiltheendofsummerandiranoutoftime' can be found. Kevin collaborated with Dua Lipa by serving as a producer on her 2024 album Radical Optimism and enjoyed the 'wild' experience of joining the pop star on stage at the Glastonbury Festival last year. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your . To find out more about how we use cookies, please see our Cookie Guide. He told The Guardian newspaper last year: 'The nicest thing about it was that it was Dua headlining Glastonbury, which is something she has wanted to do since she was a kid. 'I felt like I had a seat in someone's dream that they were living - I was just happy to be a part of it.' Kevin duetted with Dua on Tame Impala's 2015 track The Less I Know the Better although he was puzzled by the Houdini hitmaker's request to join her on stage at first. He recalled: 'I remember just being like, 'Really? Are you sure you want to play my little song during your set of absolute bangers?' 'She was pretty insistent – so after I double-checked with her that she wanted to do it, of course I was in.' Parker immediately bonded with Dua as they worked on the album and he was impressed at the superstar's lack of 'ego'. He explained: 'The energy Dua creates in her creative space is one of no ego – we all noticed there were no huge personalities in the room trying to dominate the process. 'When you speak to other writers, they've all got nightmare experience of people who were too big for the room.'

Bob Vylan dropped from Gogol Bordello European tour
Bob Vylan have been pulled from Gogol Bordello's European tour. The punk rap duo have faced backlash over their controversial performance at Glastonbury Festival - during which the 34-year-old singer led the crowd in a chant of 'death, death to the IDF' during their set - and they will no longer be supporting the band. Bob Vylan wrote in a statement on Instagram: "Due to logistical complications, we have decided not to join our friends Gogol Bordello on their upcoming European tour. "However, we will be heading to Europe in the coming months for both festivals and headline shows.' In the caption, they teased: "Keep posted for headline EU announcements soon." Initially, the promoter and venues in Germany removed Bob Vylan from the lineup, which Gogol Bordello has insisted was "not our decision and beyond our control". They added on social media: "In the aftermath, we needed to evaluate the situation, and we decided to remove BV from the tour until we could fully comprehend the situation. "After Bob Vylan posted a more in-depth explanation, a conversation was re-opened to explore their ability to be on other tour dates. "Unfortunately, it is logistically impossible for BV to participate on the tour given the circumstances. "We worked diligently with our friends Bob Vylan to find a solution but in the end it didn't work out. "Gogol Bordello is comprised of members from various nationalities and celebrates international understanding consequentially, we value freedom of speech from all perspectives.' Bob Vylan appeared on the West Holts stage at Glastonbury just before Kneecap, another controversial act. The BBC, which live-streamed the performance, has also come under scrutiny after it emerged that its director general, 57-year-old Tim Davie, was in attendance and consulted on how to handle the broadcast. Following the initial backlash to their Glastonbury set, Bob Vylan wrote on Instagram: "We are not the first. We will not be the last. 'We are being targeted for speaking up.' They added in a lengthier statement that they are not for the death of any "race or group of people". They continued: "We, like those in the spotlight before us, are not the story. We are a distraction from the story. And whatever sanctions we receive will be a distraction.'
