Irish hip-hop trio
KNEECAP are a boundary-pushing Irish hip hop trio recognised for their dynamic blend of gangsta rap and incisive lyricism. Since forming in 2017, Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap, and DJ Próvaí have garnered widespread attention for both their sharp wit and their ability to spark conversation on the Irish music landscape. Their work is marked by a fearless energy and a commitment to authentic storytelling, establishing KNEECAP as a unique voice within European hip hop.
The group’s reputation on the live music circuit is formidable, with headlining shows at iconic venues such as Killarney Gleneagle Arena in Ireland and the O2 Academy in Leeds, as well as topping the bill at Wide Awake Festival and forthcoming events including Boomtown in Hampshire and a major date at Crystal Palace Park in London. KNEECAP have also appeared as standout support acts, sharing stages with headline artists like Fontaines D.C. at Finsbury Park and Svalbard at Exchange in Bristol, further solidifying their influence and versatility within the genre.
Recent and scheduled concerts span the UK, Ireland, and major European festivals, underscoring the trio’s cross-border appeal. With releases including their forthcoming album "FENIAN" as well as notable singles such as "No Comment" and "THE RECAP," KNEECAP continue to expand the boundaries of Irish hip hop.
