Kneecap Sets Oct. 10 Global Livestream From Ireland, With Kings Theatre Screening

The pivot follows the cancellation of their October US dates tied to Mo Chara’s pending terrorism case in London.

Overview

  • Streaming begins October 10 at 9 p.m. EST from a secret location in Ireland, with worldwide online access that the band says will be fully live and uncensored.
  • New York fans can gather at Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre for a big‑screen showing, with each attendee receiving a one‑off screen‑printed poster and a special merch stand on site.
  • Kneecap announced the event after scrapping 15 sold‑out US shows on August 25, citing the close timing of a September 26 court hearing.
  • Member Mo Chara (Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh) faces a Terrorism Act charge over an alleged Hezbollah flag display in 2024, which he denies as his lawyers challenge the charge’s timeliness; he remains on bail.
  • The group’s Canadian and European dates are proceeding, and they released the single Sayōnara this week, produced by Orbital’s Paul Hartnoll.
