The Northern Irish rap trio Kneecap faces backlash amidst a performance cancellation campaign tied to political issues surrounding their statements on Gaza at Coachella. Following the arrest of member Liam Og O hAnnaidh for allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag, the group labeled the charge as 'political policing.' They expressed that this was aimed at stifling their anti-Israel rhetoric. Their surprise gig in London sold out rapidly, with massive public interest illustrating support for their protest against the ongoing violence in Gaza.
Niamh O'Hara notes that the band's stand at Coachella has made them targets for political policing, as they urge the UK to hear the truth about Gaza.
Niamh O'Hara highlights that Kneecap's surprise gig not only sold out quickly but also drew a massive waiting list, demonstrating public support for their message.
