Kneecap banned from Hungary weeks before major festival

The west Belfast rap group Kneecap has been banned from Hungary for three years due to alleged antisemitic hate speech and ties to terrorist groups. The band was set to perform at the Sziget Festival in Budapest in August. Kneecap previously denied supporting Hamas or Hezbollah after controversy surrounding their performances. Despite facing legal issues and police investigations in the UK, the rap trio is known for their provocative lyrics and vocal political stances.
