Kneecap nixes US tour due to court hearing for band member accused of terror support

What US tour? Weren’t all their concerts cancelled after praising Hezbollah in Glastonbury? Irish rap trio Kneecap has canceled its 15-date US tour scheduled for October, it says, citing the proximity of a London court hearing where member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh faces a terrorism charge.
Ó hAnnaidh, known by his stage name Mo Chara, is accused of displaying a flag of Iran-backed Lebanese terror group Hezbollah during a performance in London in November 2024.
The 27-year-old was charged in May under the Terrorism Act, which prohibits displaying articles in a way that may suggest support for a proscribed organization.
The Belfast-based band, which has said the flag was thrown on stage during its performance, says the closeness of the September 26 hearing to the start of the tour made it impossible to proceed with the 15 scheduled dates.
“To all our US-based fans we have some bad news,” the band says in an Instagram post.
"To anyone with good taste, we have good news"
“Due to the proximity of our next court hearing in London to the first date of the tour, as the British government continues its witch-hunt, we will have to cancel all 15 US tour dates in October.”
