Kneecap announce massive 2026 London gig at Crystal Palace Park

Kneecap have announced a huge 2026 gig in London.

The Irish rap trio posted on Instagram today, “With no Glastonbury in 2026, we've gone and planned our biggest ever headline show on the same weekend,” which will see them take to Crystal Palace Park on 27th June. 

Support for the gig includes The Mary Wallopers, Fat Dog, Biig Piig, Gurriers, and Madra Salach, with more still to be announced. 

Tickets for the band’s Crystal Palace Park gig will go on sale on Friday (28th Nov), with a presale on Wednesday (26th Nov) for those on the band’s waiting list or in their WhatsApp channel. You can join both via the link in the band’s Instagram bio.

The announcement comes just after the release of Kneecap’s new track 'No Comment' with Sub Focus, a track that addresses band member Mo Chara’s terrorism charge for allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag at a gig in 2024. Showing support for Hezbollah is banned in the UK. 

The case was thrown out in September. 

Prior to the terrorism charge, Kneecap caught heat at Glastonbury 2025, prompting a police investigation into the set. 

The investigation was dropped in July, wth Avon & Somerset Police stating there was “insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction for any offence.”

The band posted on Instagram: "Every single person who saw our set knew no law was broken, not even close....yet the police saw fit to publicly announce they were opening an investigation. There is no public apology, they don't send this to media or post it on police accounts.”

Also calling the charge “political policing”, the band shared a statement on X before the charges were dropped that said: “14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us. This is a carnival of distraction. We are not the story, genocide is.”
