Reports Say Dua Lipa Drops Agent Who Signed Letter Opposing Kneecap at Glastonbury

The move follows a leaked message from WME’s David Levy urging Michael Eavis to remove the Irish rap trio from the festival lineup.

Overview

  • Sources cited by multiple outlets say Lipa remains represented by WME but has shifted to a different agent within the firm.
  • The letter urging Kneecap’s removal was circulated privately and later leaked, and the group ultimately performed its scheduled Glastonbury set.
  • WME did not respond to requests for comment on the reported change in Lipa’s representation.
  • Kneecap member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, known as Mo Chara, faces a UK terrorism charge over an alleged Hezbollah flag display, with a court hearing due at the end of September.
  • The dispute unfolds as more than 400 artists and labels back the No Music for Genocide initiative, pulling their music from Israel in protest over the Gaza war.
