Kneecap announce huge show at Crystal Palace Park in 2026
Kneecap have announced details of a huge headline show in London at Crystal Palace Park in 2026.
The upcoming concert, which will take place on June 27th, 2026, is the biggest headline show of the Irish rap trio’s career to date.
They will be joined in Crystal Palace by an Irish-heavy bill of supports, including The Mary Wallopers, Fat Dog, Biig Piig, Gurriers and Madra Salach.
The group said of the upcoming show, “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.”
Kneecap continued, “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.”
The announcement comes days after Kneecap teamed up with Sub Focus to release the new single ‘No Comment’, which finds them addressing the dropped terrorism charge against Mo Chara.
They said of the new song in a press release, “No comment is all about getting harassed by the British State. Simple as. Us Irish are well used to it, been happening for centuries. Was a pleasure to work with Sub Focus on this, the man is a legend.”
Mo Chara’s terror charge was dropped in late September after he was initially charged in May, which led to subsequent court appearances before Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring threw out the case on September 26th at Woolwich Crown Court.
After the case was thrown out, he said: “This entire process was never about me, never about any threat to the public and never about ‘terrorism’, a word used by your government to discredit people you oppress.”
Kneecap are currently on the road until the end of 2025 with two huge dates planned at Dublin’s 3Arena next month to conclude the run, which also includes two dates at Manchester Academy and Glasgow’s OVO Hydro.
Additionally, next summer is set to be another festival season to remember for Kneecap, who were recently confirmed as headliners of Boomtown. They will also perform at Primavera Sound in Barcelona and Porto.
Tickets for Crystal Palace Park go on general sale on November 28th at 9am.
