  1. “The rap trio added that their Canadian shows in Vancouver and Toronto will still go ahead.”

    Quitting while ye’re ahead lads, right?

  2. They haven’t a chance in hell of getting a visa until 2029 at the earliest

  3. I was wondering why the can was double kicked down the road.

    The case is clearly going to get thrown out, so the second adjournment is probably the ‘punishment’

  4. TBH I’m somewhat surprised they had any planned. Obviously they could probably sell the tickets and the US is a great place to “make it” as a group, but they’re not ones to play it safe and it seems like a big risk in the current environment.

  5. Poor lads. I’m not a fan of their music, their ridiculous publicity stunts, or their whole student politics aesthetic but I don’t want to see them being oppressed either.

  6. Pity they can’t be appointed as diplomats to bypass the need for a visa 

  7. This was the intention of them being persued all along.

    The establishment is probably reeling from the fact that their cancellation effort didn’t work and just led to a Streisand effect for them.

    Dragging out the court case was done to force them to pull the rug on the US Tour.

    Absolute dirty tricks from The Brits.

  8. Good. Terrorist supporters shouldn’t be allowed a platform

  9. That’s alright, we’ll still be here when they’re able.

  10. I’m not into their music but Kneecap are a political band who’s music represents a marginalised community. Hezbollah are also a democratically elected party in Lebanon all violent activity aside. It would be the equivalent of not allowing support for Sinn Fein. Kneecap will rightly use this as the Streisland effect much like Thatcher tried to do with the hunger strikers they will show up this political circus for what it is. Starmer is a Tory in sheep’s clothing really. …

  11. “Up Hamas”, calls to kill politicians, play stupid games win stupid prizes. 

  12. Fucking absurd. Glad I saw them in 2023. I’ll be donating my refund 10x to UNRWA.

  13. The same kneecap thay engage in cancel culture when it’s the other side. The sweet irony 

  14. I think this is a smart move as I was genuinely getting a very very bad feeling about them going over there if you know what I mean…… they wouldn’t be coming back
