Kneecap drew a massive crowd to Glastonbury's West Holts stage this afternoon, June 28, following months of debate as to whether the Belfast/Derry rap trio should be permitted to play at Britain's biggest festival. The issue of their participation in the event came in the wake of the band's controversial Coachella festival performances - which featured messages in support of the Palestinian people and an onstage graphic stating "Fuck Israel" - and rapper Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, aka Mo Chara, being charged with a terrorism offence.
In the weeks leading up to the controversial Irish band's appearance at Glastonbury, some British politicians and a group of music industry executives called for the trio to be pulled from the bill.
