Kneecap Cancel U.S. Tour | Pitchfork

Kneecap have canceled a soldout, 15-date tour of the USA, citing the exhibits’ proximity to Mo Chara’s subsequent courtroom look on a terror cost. 4 Canadian exhibits—two in Toronto, two in Vancouver—are set to go forward, as are their European dates. Discover their present itinerary, with the canceled dates crossed out, beneath.

In an announcement, Kneecap referred to as the British authorities’s extremely contentious terror case towards them a “witch hunt,” including, “With each present totally offered out that is information we’re unhappy to ship. However as soon as we win our courtroom case, which we’ll, we promise to embark on a good greater tour to all you nice heads.” They mentioned they might “be sharing one thing very particular for U.S. followers subsequent week” that will enable them to “hyperlink in with you all in October.” They concluded by quoting Gil Scott-Heron: “‘The revolution can be no re-run, brothers/The revolution can be stay.’”

Final month, Kneecap’s present at Sziget Pageant in Budapest was canceled after Hungary’s far-right authorities banned them from getting into the nation. The band has continued to talk out in solidarity with Palestine and Gaza as Mo Chara awaits his September 25 courtroom date on a charge associated to his alleged show of a Hezbollah flag at a 2024 live performance. (Kneecap have since said they don’t help Hezbollah or Hamas.) Chara was granted unconditional bail at a courtroom look final month.
