Irish hip-hop trio
KNEECAP have carved a singular space for themselves in Irish music since their formation in 2017. As an Irish hip-hop trio, the group—comprised of Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap, and DJ Próvaí—melds sharp lyricism with the provocative, high-energy sensibilities of gangsta rap. Their articulate wordplay and fearless approach have earned them a reputation that stands out in contemporary hip hop, expanding the boundaries of the genre both on record and in live settings.
Recent tours have seen KNEECAP headline landmark shows, including leading the bill at Boomtown in Hampshire alongside major acts such as Scissor Sisters, Madness, and Skrillex, and taking top spot at The Marquee in Cork and Crystal Palace Park in London. The group’s festival credentials also include a support performance at Primavera Sound in Barcelona, where they shared the stage with headliners such as Lola Young. These live music experiences are a testament to their magnetic presence and formidable catalogue, which includes the acclaimed “KNEECAP (ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK)” and a series of bold singles. Their latest announced album, “FENIAN,” set for release in April 2026, continues to reflect their distinctive voice within hip hop culture.
KNEECAP’s concerts have become essential for those seeking fresh, authentic expressions in gangsta rap and Irish music. With new shows such as their December 2026 headliner at Dublin's 3Arena, there’s every reason for fans and newcomers alike to follow KNEECAP and keep track of their tour dates and upcoming gigs.
