"Due to the close proximity of our next court hearing in London on September 26th - as the British government continues its witch-hunt - with the start of the U.S. tour, we will have to cancel all 15 U.S. tour dates in October,"
"With every show fully sold out this is news we are sad to deliver. But once we win our court case, which we will, we promise to embark on an even bigger tour to all you great heads."
"an extract of footage [from the concert], deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action."
"something very special for US fans next week so that we can still link in with you all in October. It's top secret for now but all will be revealed next week - stay tuned."
Kneecap canceled all 15 U.S. tour dates scheduled for October 2025 because their next UK court hearing on September 26th is too close to the tour start. Member Mo Chara faces a terror charge in the UK related to an alleged November 2024 concert appearance in which he reportedly waved a flag supporting Hezbollah. The group denies supporting Hamas or Hezbollah and says footage has been taken out of context and weaponised. Mo Chara’s lawyers argued for dismissal citing a technical error and the chief magistrate is deciding on jurisdiction. Canadian, UK and European shows remain scheduled and the group promised a special announcement for U.S. fans next week.
