Glasgow fans were caught off guard last night as KNEECAP dropped a last-minute bombshell — announcing two extra shows in the city just moments before taking to the stage.

The Irish rap trio, who performed at The Garage on Sauchiehall Street last night, revealed the surprise gigs as part of their ongoing album launch celebrations.

Glasgow fans will have another chance to see them perform live at St Luke’s & The Winged Ox on Monday, May 4.

Two shows have been scheduled: a matinee with doors opening at 6pm and an evening show starting at 8.15pm.

Writing on social media, the band said: “GLASGOW ye lucky c***s.

“We’ve decided to stay another night and throw two more album launch parties TOMORROW (madness).

“Provaí just can’t get enough of paradise.

“Get stuck in with us tomorrow at @stlukesglasgow in the afternoon or evening with the legends at @assai_glasgow who are selling album pre-orders and ticket bundles.”

Tickets for both shows went on sale at 10pm.

We reported yesterday that organisers of The Garage gigs reminded fans ahead of their performance that certain items were not permitted inside the venue, including flags, balaclavas, and football strips, and warned that prohibited items would be confiscated.

Huge queues formed on Sauchiehall Street ahead of last night’s gig, with crowds of fans lining up to get inside.

Police also ramped up patrols in the area, with two vans and a patrol car spotted on the street. Officers were seen walking along the road while others remained stationed in their vehicles.

It comes as Police Scotland said a proportionate policing plan had been put in place, working with partners to ensure the safety of those attending the gig.

The force added that efforts were made to minimise disruption for the people of Glasgow.

The Belfast-based trio, made up of Liam Óg Ó hAonáidh, Naoise Ó Cairealláin, and JJ Ó Dochartaigh, have faced controversy in the past.

Ó hAonáidh, known as Mo Chara, was charged with a terror-related offence last year after allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag on stage, though the case was later dropped.

The group were also removed from last year’s TRNSMT Festival due to safety concerns.
