Kneecap Glasgow 02 Academy Stage Times: Gig set times, support, tickets, setlist
It’s one of the most eagerly-anticipated - and controversial - gigs of the year.
Northern Irish rappers Kneecap are set to play Glasgow this evening (Tuesday, July 8) - just days before they were originally meant to play the city’s TRNSMT festival before being removed from the bill.
In May month band member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was charged with a terror offence after allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah during a performance in November 2024.
Police then raised concerns about their appearance at Glasgow Green potentially leading to disorder.
The band played a triumphant set at Glastonbury recently, despite calls from politicians for them to be dropped.
And they’ll now play a gig in Glasgow that sold out in less than 80 seconds.
Here’s what you need to know about the concert.
