Kneecap hit back at Starmer in highly-charged Glastonbury set
Belfast rap group Kneecap's charged Glastonbury set hit back at Sir Keir Starmer with expletive-laden chants, drawing massive crowds to the West Holts stage. Amid controversy surrounding rapper Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh's terrorism charge, the band challenged UK politics and expressed support for Palestine during their performance. Despite objections from political figures, Glastonbury organizers stood by the band, allowing them to deliver a raucous, politically charged electro-rap set on stage.
