Dua Lipa Drops Agent Over Letter Seeking Kneecap’s Removal From Glastonbury

Industry reports tie the split to a confidential letter her agent signed urging the festival to exclude the Belfast rap trio.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets citing The Mail on Sunday and Daily Mail report that Dua Lipa ended her professional relationship with agent David Levy and asked WME for a new representative, though the agency has not issued an official confirmation.
  • Levy was among signatories of a communication to Michael and Emily Eavis pressing for Kneecap to be taken off the Glastonbury lineup, a message marked private and confidential that later leaked.
  • Industry sources quoted by the tabloid reports say Lipa viewed the letter as incompatible with her pro‑Palestinian stance.
  • Kneecap ultimately performed at Glastonbury, and coverage says the BBC censored portions of the set.
  • Liam Óg Ó Hannaidh of Kneecap faces a terrorism-related sentencing on September 26, 2025, after a Metropolitan Police investigation into a prior London show.
