Kneecap cancels all US tour dates over clash with court hearing in London | Kneecap
The Irish hip-hop triple knees canceled the US tour dates in October, showing a close to a court hearing allegedly performed by a group member Liam óg óg ó Hannaidh in London.
Hanaidh, who performed under the name of Mo Mo Chara, was accused of a flag supporting Hezbollah during a concert in London last November and was accused of a terrorist crime in England in May.
27-year-old crime from Belfast rejected the crime-and the group claimed that they never supported Hamas or Hezbollah, and that the images of the incident were removed from the context and that they were “exploited and armed”.
In a statement partner On Monday, the Group on social media announced the cancellation of the US tour: “Due to the proximity of our next court in London to the first date of the tour” “has to cancel the date of 15 rounds in October”.
“Every show is completely sold, the news we are sorry to present to tens of thousands of fans,” they added. “But when we win our court, we promise to take a larger tour for all the wonderful heads.”
Ó Hannaidh’s next court hearing is held on 26 September and it is expected to decide that a peace judiciary will not be tried during this period. The legal team argued that the case should be dismissed by showing a technical error about how the accusation was brought.
