Kneecap presale sells out ‘in seconds' following cancelled gig

The concert was announced on Wednesday after Kneecap revealed the band's performance at the Scottish festival TRNSMT will not go ahead. Taking to social media the west Belfast group said: 'The pre-sale sold out in 80 seconds. "New record that - remaining general sale go up Saturday 10am. These will also go in seconds.' Kneecap are now set to play in the O2 Arena in Glasgow on July 8. They were due to take to the stage at the Glasgow-based festival, which is scheduled to take place from July 11-13. The festival has announced a star-studded line-up including Biffy Clyro, 50 Cent, Snow Patrol, and Fontaines DC — the popular Irish band scheduled to perform alongside Kneecap in Belfast later this year. Posting on X on Wednesday, the group said their performance had been cancelled due to 'safety concerns'. They said: "Due to concerns expressed by the Police about safety at the event, Kneecap can no longer perform at TRNSMT. 'To the thousands of people who bought tickets, flights and hotels to see us play, we are is out of our hands. 'Glasgow has always been a huge city for us. We've played there many many times, with no issues – ever. Make of that what you will.' Back in April, Scotland's First Minister John Swinney called for the organiser of the festival to reconsider the group performing after footage emerging that allegedly showed a member saying: 'The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP.' A Police Scotland spokesman said: 'Any decision on the line up at TRNSMT is for the organisers and there was no prior consultation with Police Scotland before acts were booked. 'Officers have highlighted the potential reaction of such a large audience to this band would require a significant policing operation in order to support the delivery of a safe event. 'We have also passed on information from the public around safety concerns to allow organisers to make an informed decision on the running of the festival.'
