Kneecap at Fairview Park: Everything you need to know from stage times to last minute tickets
The group are in Dublin as a part of the European Leg of their Summer tour which began on May 23 at London's Wide Awake festival and will conclude in Amsterdam's Paradiso on September 6.
Though they have enjoyed mainstream success, they have been marred in controversy especially since Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh known as Mo Chara was charged with a terrorism offence in the UK.
The charge was related to his alleged display of a Hezbollah flag during their London show last November.
Hezbollah is considered a terrorist organisation by 26 countries, including the UK.
Both Óg Ó hAnnaidh and the wider group have contested the charges saying that they were a 'carnival of distraction' meant to distract from Israel's attacks on Gaza and ostracise them.
Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh is set to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court tomorrow to defend the charge.
The trio are set to return to Dublin for two dates on December 16 and 17.
The December 16 show is already sold out.
Here is everything you need to know about their Dublin show.
