The Irish rap act Kneecap has canceled all their October tour dates in the United States, though their two Canadian shows in Vancouver and Toronto are still scheduled to go ahead

The group, which drew attention at Coachella earlier this year for their outspoken criticism of Israel’s military operations in Gaza, cited a scheduling conflict tied to member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh’s court appearance in London. Performing as Mo Chara, Ó hAnnaidh faces charges for allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag at a London show last November. He has denied the allegations and emphasized that the band does not endorse Hamas or Hezbollah. The court date has been rescheduled for September 26. In a social media update, the band explained that the timing of the legal proceedings clashed with the start of the tour, forcing the cancellation of all 15 U.S. dates. They expressed regret to their fans, mentioning that every show had sold out, and promised to plan a larger tour once the court issue is settled. They also hinted at a special announcement for U.S. supporters next week, calling it a private way to maintain engagement throughout October. It’s worth noting that the tour was already facing uncertainty even before this development. The group’s comments on Gaza had sparked considerable debate in the U.S., where public opinion on the matter remains deeply polarized. After their Coachella set, Kneecap parted ways with their booking agency, the Independent Artists Group, and accused critics of orchestrating a smear campaign against them. They argued that false claims of antisemitism were being used to undermine their stance against what they describe as genocide in Palestine. The band maintains that these tactics were intended to distort their message and curb their expanding reach and impact.
