Kneecap have just announced their biggest headline show to date.

The Belfast Irish language hip-hop trio will headline Crystal Palace Park in London on Saturday June 27 2026.

Support at the 25,000 capacity show will come from fellow Irish artists The Mary Wallopers, Biig Piig, Gurriers and Madra Salach, plus London’s Fat Dog.

A statement from the band reads: “Back to the belly of the beast for our biggest ever headline show.

“Our last wee venture into London was to beat the government in court... again. This time it’ll be even better: 25,000 sound heads in a park together.

“We’re delighted to have some of our best mates and best bands around to join us. This is one we can’t wait for.”

Last month, the Crown Prosecution Service announced it would appeal the decision to throw out a terrorism charge against Kneecap rapper Mo Chara.

The band, who released their new single No Comment last week, described the move as “a massive waste of taxpayers money, of police time, of court time”.

Fans can sign up for the artist pre-sale starting at 9am on Wednesday November 26 via kneecap.ie.

Tickets go on general sale at 9am on Friday November 28 via ticketmaster.co.uk.
