Irish rap/hip-hop group, Kneecap - Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap, and DJ Próvaí - have built up a notoriety for themselves which hasn't been seen in Irish music for many years. Even if you put that to one side for a second, Kneecap are a frighteningly articulate rap group. Their debut album ‘Fine Art’ was released earlier this year in June and the group are set to head on out on tour this winter.

With their first single ‘C.E.A.R.T.A.’ (Irish for “Rights”) dropped in 2017, it became the first real taste of Kneecap the world had. Since then, they’ve released two more musical offerings – ‘3CAG’ coming only a year later in 2018 and their more recent first album. Both reflect and embody very different themes whilst still containing that glorious Kneecap feel and sound.

Produced with Toddla T, ‘Fine Art’ features the likes of Fontaines D.C.’s Grian Chatten, Nino and Jelani Blackman. Like the band themselves, 'Fine Art' is fiercely intelligent, consistently hilarious and genuinely thought provoking. It’s genius is to immerse you in a world thus far unrepresented in modern music.

Merging Irish with English, satire with socially conscious lyrics, and reality with absurdity, Kneecaps' is a voice which comes screaming from the too-often deprived areas of the North of Ireland, speaking in a language which is too-often ignored, and it makes for suitably electrifying stuff.

There seems to be no stopping the trio’s spectacular rise, with sold out tours in the US and UK, a biopic film released this year and a headline 2025 show in Finsbury Park supporting Fontaines D.C.. Although the 2025 show is sold out, you won’t want to miss getting tickets to see them on tour this October - November!
