Primavera Sound '26
Kneecap’s Irish gangsta rap and political hip hop cut across the pop-centred Primavera Sound ’26 second night.
Irish hip-hop trio
KNEECAP are a pioneering Irish hip-hop trio who have quickly risen to prominence since their formation in 2017. Hailing from Ireland, the group consists of Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap, and DJ Próvaí, carving out a name for themselves with a blend of gangsta rap and authentic hip hop that has proven both provocative and acclaimed. Their articulate lyricism and magnetic live presence have established KNEECAP as a dynamic force in contemporary music, attracting a fervent following and critical attention alike.
Noted for their riveting performances, KNEECAP have headlined at major venues such as Killarney Gleneagle Arena and O2 Academy Bournemouth, and have taken the top slot at festivals like Wide Awake Festival at Brockwell Park. Their live music credentials are further enhanced by supporting high-profile acts including Fontaines D.C. at Finsbury Park and sharing festival stages with the likes of 50 Cent at Glasgow Green’s TRNSMT. KNEECAP’s relentless energy on stage offers a compelling showcase of Irish hip hop’s growing impact on the global circuit.
Looking ahead to June 2026, KNEECAP are set to headline at Crystal Palace Park in London, and will bring their celebrated live show to Boomtown in Hampshire in August 2026. With a string of releases including the anticipated album “FENIAN” and recent singles such as “No Comment” and “Sayōnara,” the group’s creative momentum shows no sign of slowing.
