Irish hip-hop group Kneecap will play two shows in the Gleneagle Arena later this year. The Belfast trio will take to the stage on December 12 and 13.

The announcement follows their headline slot at Electric Picnic last weekend, where they drew one of the largest crowds of the festival.
Kneecap, made up of Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap, and DJ Próvaí, have become one of the most talked-about acts in Irish music in recent years.
Known for blending Irish and English in their lyrics, the group combines satire, social commentary, and rap to create a unique sound that has earned them a following at home and abroad.
They have already sold out tours in the UK and US and are now bringing their live show to Killarney.
Tickets go on general sale this Friday, September 5 at 10am via https://gleneaglearena.ie/gigs/kneecap/

Kneecap’s story was brought to the big screen last year in the award-winning film Kneecap, which premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.
The movie, a comedy-drama, follows the band’s rise from West Belfast and their clashes with authority, blending fact with fiction.
The film also has a strong Killarney connection. Local actor Michael Fassbender plays Arlo Ó Cairealláin, the father of one of the band members. His role added star power to a cast that included the three band members playing themselves.
Kneecap went on to win audience awards at Sundance and the Galway Film Fleadh and was Ireland’s entry for Best International Feature Film at the Academy Awards.
