Kneecap set to play Glastonbury amid terrorism charge
Kneecap are set to perform at Glastonbury despite calls from some British politicians to remove them from the line-up. Last month, Kneecap member Liam Og O hAnnaidh who performs as Mo Chara, was charged by Metropolitan Police with a terror offence after he allegedly displayed a Hezbollah flag at a gig last November. Footage had also emerged of the group telling a crowd: "The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP." It had been unknown if Glastonbury organisers would continue to book the group, given recent controversies that have seen them dropped from multiple concert billings, including Glasgow's TRNSMT festival. But on Tuesday, the official Glastonbury line-up was published showing Kneecap as performing on the West Holts Stage on Saturday, June 28. The main headliners on the famous Pyramid Stage include The 1975, Neil Young, Rod Stewart, Alanis Morissette and Olivia Rodrigo. Glastonbury's main yet to be announced sets come on the Pyramid Stage between 4.55pm and 5.30pm on Friday and Woodsies between 11.30am and 12.15pm on the same day, with room for a number of surprise performances on The Park Stage on Saturday between 7.30pm and 10.30pm. An unknown band named Patchwork are due to perform on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday between 6pm and 7pm. The Worthy Farm festival has often seen well-known acts perform under different names, with one notable occasion in 2023 seeing the Foo Fighters perform under the name the ChurnUps. Rod Stewart will reunite with Faces guitarist Ronnie Wood to perform in the Sunday legends slot between 3.45pm and 5.15pm. Other notable sets include Brat star Charli XCX, who will headline the Other Stage between 10.30pm and 11.45pm on Saturday, while rising rapper Doechii will headline the West Holts Stage between 10.15pm and 11.45pm on the same day. Indie rockers Wolf Alice will continue their return, ahead of their first album in four years, The Clearing, on the Other Stage on Sunday, between 7.45pm and 8.45pm, while the recently reunited Scissor Sisters will perform at Woodsies between 10.30pm and 11.45pm on Saturday. Folk singer Roy Harper, who performed at the first edition of Glastonbury in 1970, will perform on the Acoustic Stage on Sunday between 9.30pm and 10.30pm, as he continues his final tour. It comes as Kneecap announced their "biggest headline show outside of Ireland" at London's OVO Arena Wembley. The group's London concert will take place on September 18, with tickets going on pre-sale on the group's WhatsApp channel at 10am, before a general sale on Friday.
