Kneecap, a band known for their support of the Irish language and provocative lyrics, has faced multiple concert cancellations, including a notable performance at the Sziget Festival. They attribute the cancellations to a smear campaign connected to their criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza and support for Palestine. Their September 1st concert in Vienna has been officially cancelled due to acute safety concerns highlighted by authorities. The group expresses frustration over the situation, emphasizing their commitment to continue advocating for their beliefs and refunding tickets already sold.
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.
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.
