So, the BBC has now confirmed it "will not ban" the Irish rap trio Kneecap from its Glastonbury 2025 coverage, despite mounting political pressure from MPs calling for their exclusion and even a statement from Prime Minister Kier Starmer.
With just hours before Kneecap takes the stage at the U,K,'s biggest music festival, the BBC remains tight-lipped about whether the controversial Belfast rappers will appear on TV, radio, or iPlayer.
The hullabaloo around Kneecap's afternoon gig stems from allegations that the band displayed a Hezbollah flag at a November performance and made contentious comments about British MPs.
We think the BBC will stream Kneecap – albeit on a delayed broadcast. But the situation remains fluid. If you're a fan of Kneecap's music, we'll keep you up to date as 4 p.m. BST approaches.

Olivia Rodrigo & Ed Sheeran Perform ‘The A Team' in Surprise London Duet
Olivia Rodrigo welcomed Ed Sheeran to her stage for a surprise duet of 'The A Team' in London on Friday night (June 27). Together the two pop hitmakers, guitars in hand, strummed and sang Sheeran's debut single for the U.K. crowd at Hyde Park's BST (British Summer Time) concert series, where Rodrigo was performing ahead of a headlining slot at Glastonbury later this weekend. Post-show, Sheeran shared footage of the moment on Instagram. The performance video shows the two musicians harmonizing on the chorus of 'The A Team.'

'Both albums are no skips for me, I'm a proper fan. We first met at the rock and roll hall of fame back in 2022, sat next to each other with her mum and my dad and went on to hang and keep in touch from there.' Of his Friday night plans, Sheeran said, 'Was gonna go watch the show anyway but she hit me and asked to sing The A Team with her, which was such a buzz. That song turns 15 this year, and I remember playing it to rooms with no one in it in 2010, so to still be playing it to new fans with one of the brightest stars of the next generation is an honour and a privilege. Rock Glasto headline Sunday @oliviarodrigo , UK loves you x.' 'you are the best ever ed!!! appreciate you so much. last night was a blast,' Rodrigo commented on the post Saturday morning. Also spotted at Rodrigo's Friday gig was a smiling Sabrina Carpenter who enjoyed the show from the balcony, as seen in photos published by the Daily Mail. 'The A Team,' first released in 2011, was Sheeran's first song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 16 in 2012. Following Rodrigo's concert, on Saturday Sheeran posted another treat for fans on TikTok: a short mashup of his 'Perfect' with Rodrigo's 'Happier,' sung together. Sheeran previously praised Rodrigo's 2021 breakthrough hit, 'Drivers License,' as a flawless debut single, and noted both her debut and sophomore full-length albums, Sour and Guts, are 'unskippable… it's just, as a record, just a great record.'

Matty Healy Takes A Subtle Shot At Ex Taylor Swift, Fan Says He 'Was Very Drunk'
, frontman of The 1975, seemed to throw some shade at his ex-girlfriend, , during his performance at the Glastonbury Festival on Friday, leaving fans buzzing with speculation. The 36-year-old British rocker, who was sipping on a Guinness and smoking a cigarette while on stage at the iconic Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm in Somerset, made a cheeky toast to himself. 'What this moment is making me realize is that I probably am the best,' Healy told the crowd, raising his glass. 'I'm probably the best songwriter of my generation. The best, what do we say… A POET… ladies and gentlemen, is what I am,' he proclaimed, which many took as a subtle dig at his ex, Taylor Swift, whom he dated briefly in 2023. Fans quickly picked up on the reference, with one person in the crowd suggesting he was alluding to Swift's latest album, "The Tortured Poets Department." This comment stirred further intrigue, as many of Swift's followers have speculated that her song 'Peter' might be about Healy. Healy went on to call himself a 'Generational wordsmith,' adding, 'I just wanted to remind you in the next couple of minutes, these lyrics, this poetry, 'I Bleed For You'... take it away boys.' The band then launched into "Chocolate" from their 2013 self-titled debut album before Healy followed up with a playful 'I was only joking about being a poet' at the song's conclusion. However, the comments quickly sparked mixed reactions, with many fans who were in attendance at the show taking to X (formerly Twitter) to share their thoughts on Healy's performance. Some accused the rocker of being 'drunk,' with one user writing, 'That lad was very drunk tonight, and will look back at his big once-off night in regret. Very poor performer.' Another fan added, 'Genuinely the most cringe singer on the planet atm,' while a third quipped, 'Not even the best songwriter in the field. Alexa, play 'The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,'' a song off of Swift's "The Tortured Poets Department." The public was highly interested in the romance between Healy and Swift, which had a brief but highly publicized run in 2023. Now, Swift has moved on with NFL star , but it appears Healy isn't quite ready to let the past go. In the midst of the show's controversy, Healy also made a bold statement about the band's stance on politics, which has often sparked debate. Midway through the performance, the stage went dark, and a message appeared announcing, 'Matty is changing his trousers.' When the lights returned, the band was dressed in full suits, and they performed 'I Couldn't Be More in Love.' It was during this moment that Healy shared his most sincere sentiment of the night. 'People who are watching this may, I don't know… They may be disappointed in the lack of politics in this show and our forthcoming shows and probably our future shows. I want you to know that it's a conscious decision,' Healy began. 'We honestly don't want our legacy to be one of politics. We want it to be that of love and friendship." He continued, "I'm not trying to be too earnest, but you can go out into the world and there's loads of politics everywhere. We don't need more politics. We need more love and friendship.' The band has often found itself at the center of controversy, especially after Healy made headlines for kissing various band members and audience members mid-performance, including at Malaysia's Good Vibes Festival in 2023. At that time, Healy spoke out against the country's anti-LGBTQ laws and then kissed his bandmate MacDonald on the lips. The act led to the festival being canceled and the band being banned from Malaysia. The band's most recent album, "Being Funny in a Foreign Language," was released in 2022 to critical acclaim. Since their debut EP in 2012, they've built a loyal fanbase, with many fans even getting tattoos of their signature box logo.
