Kneecap has seen multiple show cancellations, including a performance in Vienna on September 1st due to safety concerns raised by authorities. They attribute the cancellations to a smear campaign related to their outspoken support for Palestine and criticism of Israel's actions. The group expressed disappointment on social media, stating their commitment to fighting injustice. They were previously banned from entering Hungary ahead of the Sziget Festival and received backlash for provocative statements made during live performances.
Our planned show in Vienna on September 1st is cancelled. To the 3500 people we were looking forward to seeing at our first headline show in Vienna, we are sorry: this is out of our hands. All tickets will be refunded.
Yet again, it is clear that this is political distraction and a further attempt to silence those who call out genocide against the Palestinian people. But as always, we will fight on for what is right.
