Bono's son Elijah Hewson says it 'shouldn't be controversial' to stand up for children in Gaza
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Bono's son Elijah Hewson has said "it shouldn't be controversial" to stand up for the rights of children "being bombed" in Gaza. The second youngest son of the U2 rock star and his wife Ali Hewson was performing with his band Inhaler at St Anne's Park on Friday night. Speaking to the crowd, Eli said: "It shouldn't be controversial to stand up for the rights of kids that are being bombed in Gaza. "We stand with the people of Palestine tonight. Any kids that are being murdered for the sake of any ideology is wrong." Crowds cheered as the band then continued to perform. It comes in the wake of Belfast rappers Kneecap's advocacy for Palestine came under intense scrutiny after they used a performance at the Coachella festival in California last month to denounce Israeli attacks on Gaza. A video emerged from a November 2023 gig appearing to show one of the trio saying: "The only good Tory is a dead Tory." Last month, Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, 27, was charged by the Metropolitan Police after the incident on 21 November 2024 at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, London. Mr Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, 18 June. In a statement posted on social media, Kneecap previously said: "We deny this 'offence' and will vehemently defend ourselves. "This is political policing. This is a carnival of distraction. 14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us."

Inhaler at St Anne's Park: Stage times, set list, ticket information, how to get there and more
Inhaler , the Dublin four-piece fronted by Elijah Hewson , are set to bring their Open Wide tour back home. Having spent the first half of the year stage hopping around Europe and North America, this is the band's biggest Irish gig to date. Released in February, Open Wide is the name of Inhaler's third studio album. Produced by Kid Harpoon, a hitmaker for the likes of Harry Styles and Florence & the Machine, the record proved something of a departure from the group's polished indie-rock template, incorporating pop sensibilities that have bled into Inhaler's live show. With a stacked supporting cast and a historic park landscape, this promises to be a landmark homecoming. When and where is it? Inhaler play St Anne's Park in Clontarf, Dublin, on Friday May 30th. READ MORE What time should I arrive? Gates open at 5pm, with the first act expected to take to the stage at 6pm. A full list of stage times is not yet available, so keep an eye on Inhaler's socials for more information on the day. The event should be finished up before 11pm. There is no queueing allowed prior to gates opening, meaning you will be turned away if you arrive too early. Concertgoers are advised to arrive half an hour before the show starts. [ Eli Hewson of Inhaler: 'There's so much nepotism in every facet of life' Opens in new window ] Who is playing? Inhaler are headlining on the night, with support coming from Blossoms, Gurriers and Scustin. How do I get to and from the gig? Anyone going to Inhaler is advised to plan and book return travel arrangements in advance, allowing at least an extra two hours travel time to and from the venue. Traffic and parking delays are forecast, and you are advised to walk, cycle, use public transport or private coaches. Further detail is outlined below. Travel by bus: Marathon Coaches are among those offering direct, private services, with a return bus operating from Northwall Quay Bus Stop 7623 in Dublin city centre. JJ Kavanagh Event Coaches also pick up from locations in Limerick, Nenagh, Roscrea, Portlaoise, Kildare, Clonmel, Callan, Kilkenny, Waterford and Carlow. Dublin Bus run services in close proximity to St Anne's Park. Routes from Abbey St Lower include 6, H1, H2, H3 or 130. Visit for more information. Travel by train: The Dart will run services to and from the concerts each day. You are advised to alight at Harmonstown Dart station. Visit for more information. Travel by car: Attendees are advised to use public transport, as there is no public parking at the event. The car parks at St Anne's Park are not open during events, and towing and clamping is in operation for anyone who parks illegally. The final hurdle: When you reach the site, there are two entrances. You may enter through whichever of these is most convenient for you, and organisers advise that both routes require an approximate 1.3km walk from park entrance to ticket scan/entry. • Green entrance: Sybil Hill onto main avenue. • Blue entrance: All Saints Road, via Tennis court entry. Are there any tickets left? Tickets for the gig can be purchased here . At the time of writing, they are still available. Anyone attending should download tickets to their phone in advance, in case there are issues around internet connection when entering the park. It is important to remember that screenshots will not work on the day, as barcodes are live and updating regularly. There is a box office on the main avenue, where the green and blue routes meet, for those who need to collect their tickets. What is security like? Under-16s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to enter St Anne's Park. Strict security checks will be in operation, and you are advised not to bring a large bag or backpack as you may experience delays or even be refused entry. Prohibited items include glass or cans, umbrellas, alcohol, garden furniture, camping or collapsible chairs, e-scooters and e-bikes, flares, professional cameras and audio recording equipment. A full list can be found here . There are no readmissions to the concert, so if you leave you cannot get back in. What does the weather look like? Temperatures should get to a high of 19 degrees, but Met Éireann has forecast spells of rain showers over the coming days, with breezier conditions than of late also expected. Given St Anne's Park is a standing venue on a grass surface, you should bring boots or runners as well as layering up. It may help to have a raincoat or poncho alongside your suncream.
