The musicians have repeatedly spoken out against the war in Gaza, with Kneecap walking on stage at a gig in London on Saturday night in front of a screen that read: 'Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people'.
O hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, and his bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and J J O Dochartaigh were cheered by hundreds of supporters when they arrived at Westminster Magistrates' Court for his last court appearance in June.
After the brief hearing concluded, he exited the court building to a festival-like atmosphere, with fans waving flags, playing drums and one supporter setting off a smoke canister.
Thursday's Instagram post read: 'Defend @kneecap32. Free Mo Chara. Drop the charges. Big up all the artists who will be there to support. Bringing West Holts to Westminster on Wed 20 August 9am.'
O hAnnaidh was charged in May after allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah at a gig in November last year.
Kneecap performed at Glasgow's 02 on Tuesday night, in a gig which sold out in 80 seconds.
The group was set to play the TRNSMT festival in the city this weekend, but their spot was axed following concerns raised by police.
Their set at Glastonbury followed Bob Vylan on the West Holts Stage, with both acts being investigated by Avon and Somerset Police for comments made on stage.
Gurriers also played at Glastonbury last month, with frontman Dan Hoff telling the crowd during their Woodsies set: 'Free Palestine, unlike other bands, we know where we stand politically.'

Derry Girls fans only just discovering who Saoirse-Monica Jackson's famous mother-in-law is
Saoirse-Monica Jackson and Scots DJ Denis Sulta tied the knot recently in a super stylish three-day extravaganza. It was a joining of two modern day Celtic legends when Scots DJ Denis Sulta married Derry Girls star Saoirse-Monica Jackson recently. The loved up pair said 'I Do' at an achingly hip three-day Irish extravaganza just outside Kenmare in Co Kerry last week. The ceremony was hailed as 'iconic' by fans of the super stylish couple and included more than a few nods to Scotland. It featured a host of Irish music, an Irish storyteller, Guinness on tap, as well as tributes to Denis' own heritage, including his on point, traditional kilt with a Hebridean MacKenzie tartan, made by Glasgow firm MacGregor and MacDuff. His outfit featured a custom-made Montrose doublet jacket, topped off with his dad's own sporran and a family brooch. The groom - real name Hector Barbour - took to Instagram today to say he feels like the 'luckiest man on the planet' as he gets to grip with married life following his epic soiree. The Glasgow-born DJ, 32, said: 'I married the woman of my dreams and it was the most glorious weekend of my are hard to find for just how magical the whole thing was and just how beautiful @saoirsemonicajackson looked. "Seeing Saoirse walking down that aisle with all the people we love right there with us was without a doubt the happiest moment of my life so far. Nothing even comes close. "I couldn't be more proud of our darling family and friends and [I] am just so unbelievably buzzing from all the love and laughter over the weekend. "Thank you so much for all the gorgeous well wishes and all of the people that made such an incredible effort to be there and make it so special for us. I truly am the luckiest man on the planet.' Saoirse, 31, sported a reversible tartan dress as she headed down the aisle with her dad. She made the walk accompanied by the sounds of Dreams by The Cranberries, in a sweet tribute to Derry Girls, as well as with co-star Jamie-Lee O'Donnell as one of her bridesmaids. Followers were left bowled over by the fashionable celebration as the actress and her new husband shared a raft of stunning pics that captured their day across their own accounts, and Vogue magazine, which has profiled the event in the latest issue, thanks to Story of Eve. Sulta is already well known to fans of dance music, having graced the covers of coveted industry titles Mixmag and DJ Mag, as well as being crowned DJ Mag's Best DJ in their 'Best of British' awards series. He's also featured on BBC Radio 1's Residency show and booked spots at legendary clubs worldwide including Manchester's Warehouse Project, Space Miami, and Panorama Bar in Berlin. Derry Girls fans too have welcomed the Glasgow-born producer into their fold after his 2022 appearance in the final episode of the much-loved show. He had a cameo as a bouncer who chucked Erin, Saoirse's character, and the gang out of a Halloween party. But some diehards of the Channel 4 sitcom are only just discovering why the Scot is so familiar to them, even if they've never picked up a Mixmag, as he bears a striking resemblance to his mum, who is none other than Scots showbiz icon Muriel Gray. A former presenter of Channel 4's The Tube, the first female rector of the University of Edinburgh, and former host of legendary 1980s TV series The Munro Show, she's a very well-kent face to most Scots. Grey, 66, married television producer Hamish Barbour in 1991 and the couple have three children, including Sulta, who they welcomed in 1993. Fans took to the comments of This Is Our City star Saoirse's social media updates about the big day to express their delight at finding out who her very famous mother-in-law is. One said: "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait…..Muriel Gray is your mother in law? ICONIC." Another said: "That's why he looks so familiar to me!" A third chimed in: "I had no idea your mum in law is Muriel Gray - a Scottish legend. While a fourth said: "Wow. Just when I thought my admiration for Saoirse could not get any higher. I see her beautiful mother and that her mother in law is the beautiful and talented Muriel. The genes. The genes." After posting her own celebratory snaps after the event, some of Muriel's fans were shocked to discover who her son and famous new daughter-in-law were. Giving a shout out to the Scottish designer behind her incredible Scottish inspired outfit, she said: "Our gorgeous big grown up married boy. We're from Scotland. Did you guess? Thanks to @joyceyoungcollections for being such a mensch as well as a brilliant Scottish designer." One fan replied: "That explains everything! What a fabulous wedding that looked. Everyone appeared so incredibly happy and all the wedding outfits were." Another said: "Oh wow, royalty! Please no more surprises, I can't cope!" One said: "Aw I thought he looked familiar but couldn't place him!! What a fantastic wedding." Another added: "OMG Had no idea that boy was your boy!!! So obvious now! Looked like the best day." Another said: "Muriel Gray is his Mammy? I grew up with Muriel explaining fashion on a Sunday to us." While a sixth said: "Wow. Just when I thought my admiration for Saoirse could not get any higher. I see her beautiful mother and that her mother in law is the beautiful and talented Muriel . The genes. The genes." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
