Last Friday night, the group headlined Féile an Phobail in the Falls Park in front of thousands of fans.
They also unveiled a new mural in Hawthorn Street, showcasing the message, 'England Get out of Ireland', stating that both sides of the community here would benefit from no Tory government.
In what has been a huge 2023, Kneecap's own eagerly anticipated feature film, directed by Rich Peppiatt, also took part in the prestigious Great8 showcase at the Cannes Film Market earlier this year.
