Kneecap says TRNSMT festival appearance will not go ahead

Kneecap has announced that their performance at the Scottish festival TRNSMT will not go ahead and will be replaced with a date at an O2 Academy venue.

Posting on X, the band said: "To the thousands of people who bought tickets, flights and hotels to see us play, we are sorry ... it is out of our hands.

"Glasgow has always been a huge city for us. We've played there many many times, with no issues - ever. Make of that what you will. To try to make up for it, we will be at your O2 Academy on Tuesday July 8th."

They also quoted that the decision was "due to concerns expressed by the police about safety at the event, Kneecap can no longer perform at TRNSMT".
