This summer has seen Irish rappers Kneecap dropped from a number of line-ups, including Germany’s Hurricane and Southside festivals, as well as being slapped with a three-year ban from Hungary ahead of their planned performance at Sziget – where the band would have played tonight.
“It is important to say that Hungary is an island of freedom and peace in a troubled world. Here, no one can be abused because of their origin or religion, even verbally. The organizers could have been wise enough not to invite them and not put Hungary in such a situation.”
