When Fontaines D.C. booked Belfast rap trio Kneecap to support them at their massive Finsbury Park show, they did so knowing full well what the group stood for and how vocal they were about their beliefs. The group have never been shy about their support for the Palestinian people, but neither have Fontaines themselves.
What they might not have expected was that Kneecap would be playing with a terrorism charge hanging over the head of Mo Chara (Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh), or that it would take place less than a week after the storm of controversy - and police investigation - which surrounded their Glastonbury performance and the words of Bob Vylan, the group who played directly before them at the festival’s West Holts stage.
