Kneecap is a global phenomenon. Bursting out from a squat in Belfast, Móglaí Bap, Mo Chara, and DJ Próvaí are spearheading a moment in Irish culture, music, language, and cinema that has brought them to sensational levels. All it took was a generational talent to tear through conventions, expectations, and records.
Their fiercely intelligent breakthrough concept album, ‘Fine Art’ (2024), was produced by Toddla T, and set across a raucous night out, traversing a fantasy pub called The Rutz, with adventures spilling out on to the streets of Belfast and London, featuring guest appearances from Lankum’s Radie Peat, Fontaines DC’s Grian Chatten and Tom Coll, alongside Jelani Blackman and Annie Mac.
Critically acclaimed, and earning plaudits from The Irish Times, NME, The New York Times, The Guardian, Rolling Stone Magazine, Dazed, and multiple other global outlets, Fine Art further launched Kneecap on to huge stages and headfirst into mosh-pits across Europe and the US, as well as into the studios of Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show.
Live, Kneecap continues to electrify festivals and venues around the world. A morning gig at Glastonbury’s Woodsies stage in the summer of 2024 filled the tent with thousands of fans, their festival appearance capped off with an epic late-night show at Shangri-La, where Noel Gallagher waited backstage to heap praise on the group. Their autumn US tour saw sold out gigs across multiple American cities. 2024 was capped off with a series of sold out shows across Ireland, including five consecutive dates at the prestigious Vicar Street venue, yet another sold out run of gigs across England, Scotland and Wales, and a massive arena show in their hometown of Belfast.
