After the band’s message “Fuck Israel” displayed on screen during the band’s Coachella suit, the Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap held several upcoming concerts in Germany and showed off several concerts on screen and re-paved videos from the Kneecap concert, known as the band that killed Parliament.

Last week, the German music festival Hurricane and Southside, organized by FKP Scorpio, appeared to remove Kneecap from the festival lineup without explanation. The band confirmed on an article on X (formerly Twitter) that the group “will not perform at Hurricanes or South Festivals this year”, but instead pointed out fans attending three headline concerts in Berlin, Cologne and Hamburg, which are scheduled for early September. But as of Wednesday, the concert ticket page also pointed out that the shows were also ignored.

According to certain interpretations of German law, some of KNEECAP's Israeli-Palestinian remarks can be considered hate speech. For example, in some German countries, including Berlin, the term “from river to sea” is considered to be prosecuted hate speech.

They became Kenny's latest performance on the second weekend of Coachella this month, which is just the latest consequence of KNEECAP. Jewish groups in the music industry, such as the Peaceful Creative Community, and individuals like Sharon Osbourne, have called for the revocation of the band's visa. Between one and the second weekend at Coachella, the group split up with their booking agency IAG, although the reason for the split is unclear. The separation from the institution may make the band’s visa questioned, as IAG is the band’s visa sponsor.

Since then, the British counter-terrorism authorities have begun investigating videos of historical racing concerts, and the band seems to have provided support to Hamas and Hezbollah, both listing terrorist groups, as well as other videotapes, and bands calling for the death of Conservative MPs in the UK.

Founded in 2017 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, KNEECAP has long been a controversial vocal political group. The group consists of Mo Chara, MóglaíBap and DjPróvaí. They are closely related to Irish republicism, a movement that calls for Ireland to be united from British rule. Kneecap went bankrupt in 2018 with his debut single "Cearta", an Irishman of "rights". They released their first studio album 3cag That year, the second album art Through the 2024 Paradise Recording.

Since the latest controversy, Kneecap has repeatedly denounced anti-Semitism allegations, saying their statements are directed at the Israeli government and noting that the strong opposition they face is part of the smear movement. The band took to Instagram on Tuesday and said they "didn't, nor do they support Hamas or Hezbollah."

"We also refuse any advice we try to incite violence against any member of Congress or individual," the band said. The Kneecap said that past concert videos have been "off the ground" and are now "weaponized."

“Suddenly, after a few days of calling for applause and solidarity from the U.S. government, the anger and condemnation of the British political class was an avalanche,” Kneecap wrote. “The real crime is not in our performance; the real crime is the silence and complicity of those in power.
