Kneecap announce new tour dates for group's ‘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. A post shared by KNEECAP (@kneecap32) 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. 'All of ye can get a pre-sale link for tomorrow at 10am ahead of the masses by signing up to our mailer or WhatsApp channel. '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 the previously announced show at OVO Arena Wembley on September 18.

MasterChef's John Torode accused of racism in Gregg Wallace review
The report, commissioned by MasterChef production company Banijay UK and led by law firm Lewis Silkin, found 45 out of 83 allegations against Wallace were substantiated, alongside two standalone allegations made against other people, including one for using racist language. MASTERCHEF presenter John Torode has confirmed he is the subject of an allegation of using racist language that was upheld as part of a review into the behaviour of co- presenter Gregg Wallace . In a post on Instagram, Torode confirmed he was the person alleged to have used racist language but said he had 'no recollection of the incident' and was 'shocked and saddened' by the allegation. His statement said: 'Following publication of the Executive Summary of the investigation into Gregg Wallace while working on MasterChef, I am aware of speculation that I am one of the two other individuals against whom an allegation has been upheld. READ MORE: What does review into BBC's How to Survive a Warzone really say? 'For the sake of transparency, I confirm that I am the individual who is alleged to have used racial language on one occasion. 'The allegation is that I did so sometime in 2018 or 2019, in a social situation, and that the person I was speaking with did not believe that it was intended in a malicious way and that I apologised immediately afterwards. 'I have absolutely no recollection of any of this, and I do not believe that it happened. However, I want to be clear that I've always had the view that any racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment. (Image: PA Wire) 'I'm shocked and saddened by the allegation as I would never wish to cause anyone any offence.' Reports in The Sun said Torode had been asked to leave the show and claim he had mental health issues following the allegation. A BBC insider said they do not recognise this. It comes after Wallace said he was 'deeply sorry for any distress caused' and that he 'never set out to harm or humiliate' in the wake of the report, which included one allegation of 'unwelcome physical contact' that was upheld. In November 2024, the show's production company, Banijay UK, announced that Wallace, 60, would step away from his role on MasterChef while historical allegations of misconduct were investigated. In a statement to the PA news agency, he said: 'For eight months, my family and I have lived under a cloud. Trial by media, fuelled by rumour and clickbait. READ MORE: Newsletter: Why is the BBC not talking about Scottish concerns? 'None of the serious allegations against me were upheld. I challenged the remaining issue of unwanted touching but have had to accept a difference in perception, and I am deeply sorry for any distress caused. It was never intended.' The report found that the 'majority of the allegations against Mr Wallace (94%) related to behaviour which is said to have occurred between 2005 and 2018', with only one allegation substantiated after 2018. It also concluded that the 'majority of the substantiated allegations against Mr Wallace related to inappropriate sexual language and humour', adding that 'a smaller number of allegations of other inappropriate language and being in a state of undress were also substantiated'. The report noted that during the course of the investigation, which was over a seven-month period, Wallace was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, and said that the findings should be viewed in the context of his neurodiversity. In his statement, Wallace added: 'I'm relieved that the Banijay report fully recognises that my behaviour changed profoundly in 2018. Some of my humour and language missed the mark. I never set out to harm or humiliate. I always tried to bring warmth and support to MasterChef, on screen and off. 'After nearly 20 years on the show, I now see that certain patterns, shaped by traits I've only recently begun to understand, may have been misread. I also accept that more could have been done, by others and by myself, to address concerns earlier. 'A late autism diagnosis has helped me understand how I communicate and how I'm perceived. I'm still learning.' He praised the show's production company, Banijay, saying they had 'given me great support, and I thank them'. The former greengrocer added: 'There will be more casualties if the BBC continues down this path, where protecting its legacy matters more than protecting people. For my part, with full legal support, I will consider my next move.' READ MORE: The crucial points in BBC Gaza documentary review not being talked about Banijay UK said that 'Wallace's return to MasterChef (is) untenable' following the number of sustained allegations. Patrick Holland, chief executive of Banijay UK, said that while the report 'makes for uncomfortable reading', it also provided 'valuable insight to ensure that going forward everyone working on our productions feels safe and supported, and that inappropriate behaviour is quickly and professionally dealt with'. The BBC also said it has 'informed' Wallace that it has 'no plans to work with him in future', adding in a statement: 'This behaviour falls below the values of the BBC and the expectations we have for anyone who works with or for us. 'Although the full extent of these issues were not known at the relevant time, opportunities were missed to address this behaviour, both by the production companies running MasterChef and the BBC. We accept more could and should have been done sooner.' The BBC also addressed the future of a series of MasterChef filmed last year which has not yet been aired, saying it had not made a final decision on broadcasting it. Last year, a BBC News investigation revealed a string of allegations of inappropriate sexual comments and alleged inappropriate behaviour against Wallace by 13 people who worked with him across a range of shows over a 17-year period, including former Newsnight host Kirsty Wark. A statement from Wallace's lawyers at the time said that it 'is entirely false that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature', as reported by BBC News. Ahead of the official publishing of the external review, Wallace claimed in an Instagram post on July 8, which appears to have been taken down, that he had been cleared of the 'most serious and sensational accusations' against him.

BBC boss breaks silence on MasterChef's future after Gregg Wallace saga & John Torode asked to QUIT over ‘racist remark'
TIM Davie has broken his silence on MasterChef's future after the bombshell Gregg Wallace report - and John Torode's alleged racist remark. The investigation, which upheld 45 of 83 allegations against Wallace, 60, dropped yesterday. 1 John Torode confirmed he was one of the people mentioned in the report into Wallace's behaviour Credit: PA The dossier also upheld a complaint that an unnamed person used a racial phrase once several years ago. Torode confirmed to The Sun last night it referred to him, but said: 'I have absolutely no recollection of this, and I do not believe that it happened.' Speaking about whether MasterChef has a future, in light of the saga, Tim Davie said today: "I absolutely think it does, I think a great programme that's loved by audiences is much bigger than individuals. "It absolutely can survive and prosper, but we've got to make sure we're in the right place in terms of the culture of the show." The BBC Director General was also asked about whether Torode would remain on the show. "There has to be follow-up, so the BBC, in some ways, we're quite simple on this, if someone is found to not live up to the values we expect, the independent company, Banijay, in this case, to take action and report back to us on what they have done," he said. "These aren't BBC employees, but we absolutely expect action to be taken, that's the first thing I'd say." His statement comes in light of the BBC Annual Report published today. The scandal-hit BBC boss has been given a sizeable pay rise to earn £544,999 a year. The broadcaster's annual report revealed the Director-General's pay packet swelled by around £15,000 or 2.5% over the past 12 months - despite controversies including those involving Wallace, Bob Vylan and a Hamas documentary. Masterchef meltdown as BBC asked John Torode to RESIGN over 'racist remark' before Gregg Wallace sacking The Beeb is required to publish the pay and expenses for all senior leaders earning over £178,000 annually "in the BBC's public services", according to its report. Davie - who took up his current role in 2020 - was paid an estimated £529,999 in salary and taxable benefits in 2023-24. He insisted today: "I simply think I'm in a place where I can work to improve dramatically the BBC and lead it in the right way." Key points in the BBC Annual Report Gary Lineker has topped the list of highest earners for another year He was followed by Zoe Ball, who remains second best-paid at the Beeb despite her dramatic pay cut More than two thirds of the broadcaster's top 20 earners received pay rises BBC Breakfast star Naga Munchetty received a boost to her pay, but co-host Charlie Stayt's salary stayed the same Disgraced presenter Huw Edwards did not feature on the list after his exit from the broadcaster Meanwhile the number of people paying for a TV licence fell by around 300,000 last year - almost two per cent in all He added: "We will make mistakes, but I think as a leadership and myself, I've been very clear, and I think we have been decisive. "There's enormous, massive noise and different opinions about what we should do, but I think we have been clear. "We are making the right decisions. We're being transparent on what we do, and I think that's what counts. "I would also say that under my tenure I've set a very clear stall out in terms of impartiality." Asked by The Sun why Davie had received a £15,000 bonus despite significant failures throughout the year, BBC's chair of the board Dr Samir Shah said: "His pay has been frozen since 2021 and I think that it is reasonable. "There is little doubt that Tim's pay is significantly under [the going rate]. "If you look at the figures, trust levels have gone up - if you look at the report, the actual performance of the BBC has been exceptional." He added: "I have no problems with awarding him with what is a very small bonus - which still ends up [with] his salary being significantly lower than any of his peers in the sector." It comes as departing Match of the Day host Gary Lineker ended his time with the Corporation by topping its pay league for the eighth consecutive year, raking in £1.35million. He ranked the top highest earner, closely followed by presenter Zoe Ball who takes home an eye-watering £515,000 a year. Alan Shearer, Greg James and Fiona Bruce were all in the top three earners. SCANDAL-HIT BBC The Annual Report and Tim Davie's pay rise comes after a tough year for the Beeb. It also featured a column by Dr Shah in which he referenced the "profoundly shocking revelations" involving disgraced News At Ten anchor Huw Edwards. Just yesterday bombshell inquiry, carried out by law firm Lewis Silkin for production company Banijay, unveiled a litany of complaints against Gregg Wallace. The report found out of the 83 allegations against Wallace, 45 were substantiated. Most of them involved inappropriate sexual language and humour. But, the investigation also looked at 10 complaints made about other people, from the period between 2012 to 2018/2019. Two were substantiated, relating to inappropriate language, one for swearing and the other for racist language. 'Lewis Silkin's findings include two further allegations which were upheld, relating to other individuals," stated the report. "The BBC takes these findings very seriously and we have asked Banijay UK to take action to address these issues, which is underway. "This will be completed as a priority." Of the substantiated claims regarding Wallace, some related to other inappropriate language, being in a state of undress, and one case of unwanted physical contact. The report concluded 94 per cent of the allegations against Wallace related to behaviour which is said to have occurred between 2005 and 2018. There was one substantiated allegation after 2018. Meanwhile, Wallace's long-term MasterChef co-host John Torode last night confirmed he was accused of racism in the report. The BBC also told the presenter to pretend he had mental health issues after accusing him of racism, it was claimed. And, shockingly, sources said the BBC and production company Banijay asked John to resign from the beleaguered show last week and claim he had mental health problems — to which he refused. The findings of a separate inquiry into the BBC documentary Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone, were revealed. Ofcom has since confirmed it will be launching its own probe into the production. Earlier the BBC admitted to breaching their own editorial guidelines by failing to disclose the narrator was the son of a Hamas official. And, just last week BBC bosses were told to "get a grip quicker" after the live stream of punk rap duo Bob Vylan's Glastonbury set was left on air despite controversial comments which some interpreted as antisemitic. Ofcom boss Dame Melanie Dawes insisted there is a risk the public lose faith in the corporation if coverage isn't pulled swiftly and investigations are lengthy. The broadcaster had apologised after the band's lead singer chanted 'death, death' to Israeli defence forces during their festival set last month.
