Police Scotland has announced that they have a plan in place to ensure the safety of anyone attending the Kneecap concert in Glasgow this week.
The controversial rap group are due to perform at the Glasgow O2 Academy tomorrow night, July 7.
Cops had previously expressed concern about Kneecap playing at the TRNSMT festival in Glasgow Green this weekend and they were taken taken off the bill.
In response to this decision the Irish trio decided to organise a gig at the O2 to make sure their fans got to see them play in the city.
They said: “To the thousands of people who bought tickets, flights, and hotels to see us play, we are sorry … it is out of our hands.
“Glasgow has always been a huge city for us. We’ve played there many, many times, with no issues – ever.
“Make of that what you will. To try to make up for it, we will be at your O2 Academy on Tuesday, July 8.”
Police confirmed they have launched a probe following Kneecap’s set at Glastonbury was filled with expletives and calls to “free Palestine” and “f*** Keir Starmer.”
Police Scotland say there are a number of artists playing in the city this week and confirmed they have a plan in place for them all.
Superintendent Paul Douglas said: “We are aware of a number of events and concerts due to take place in the Greater Glasgow area in the week beginning Monday, 7 July, 2025.
“A proportionate and considered policing plan is in place within the city and we are working with a number of stakeholders to ensure the safety of all those attending these events and where possible minimise disruption to the people of Glasgow.”
Billie Eilish’s “Hit Me Hard and Soft” tour at the Hydro comes to Glasgow for the next two nights, while Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Grand National Tour” at Hampden will be on at the same time as the Kneecap gig tomorrow.
