(Image: @BBCWestScot, via Twitter/X) Kneecap have since corrected the BBC over the headline, sharing the story on Twitter/X and writing: "Kneecap didn't 'pull out' of TRNSMT – Kneecap were removed." The BBC's social media post has also been community noted – where social media users suggest context to posts – to reflect the fact that the band were axed and did not voluntarily pull out.

The decision from TRNSMT organisers comes after Police Scotland said last week that allowing Kneecap to perform at the festival would require "a significant policing operation". A police statement on Wednesday 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."

Tate brothers facing rape, human trafficking charges in UK
London: Controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan, have been charged in Britain with multiple sex offences, including rape and human trafficking, following an investigation by UK police. Andrew, 38, faces 10 charges related to alleged offences against three women. These include rape, actual bodily harm, human trafficking, and controlling prostitution for gain. Tristan, 36, has been charged with 11 offences, including rape, human trafficking, and actual bodily harm, relating to one alleged victim. A European Arrest Warrant was issued in the UK in 2024. Romanian courts subsequently approved the extradition of the Tate brothers to face trial in Britain once the ongoing criminal proceedings in Romania are concluded. Both men are currently under investigation in Romania, where they have lived since 2017, for separate allegations involving rape, human trafficking, and membership of an organised criminal group. They have denied all allegations in both jurisdictions. A spokesperson for the UK Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) confirmed the charges in a statement: 'We can confirm that we have authorised charges against Andrew and Tristan Tate for offences including rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution, and actual bodily harm against three women. These charging decisions followed receipt of a file of evidence from Bedfordshire Police.' The CPS emphasised that criminal proceedings are active and warned against commentary or speculation that could prejudice the legal process. 'It is extremely important that there be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings,' the spokesperson added. After their release from house arrest, the Tate brothers left Romania for the US in February. During their visit, they appeared on several popular podcasts and were seen associating with prominent internet personalities in Los Angeles. They have since returned to Bucharest.
