RAPPERS Kneecap have declared their late-night Glastonbury show as one of the best gigs they have ever performed.
Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí took to the stage twice at Worthy Farm in Somerset over the weekend, attracting large crowds to a morning performance at the Woodsies stage on Saturday, before finishing with a lively late-night show at the Shangri-La area.
They used their Glastonbury platform to highlight the ongoing conflict in Gaza, displaying on a large stage screen saying “over 20,000 children have been murdered by Israel in 9 months”.
