Kneecap Rocks Glastonbury Despite BBC Live Stream Cut

As crowds gathered for Kneecap's set at Glastonbury, the BBC stopped live coverage of the Irish rap trio. Kneecap's appearance had faced scrutiny due to a terrorism charge against Mo Chara and their support for Palestine. Despite calls for their removal, chants of 'F*ck Keir Starmer!' filled the air as Kneecap rocked the West Holts stage.

The BBC received criticism for not broadcasting Kneecap's set, with the live feed cutting off just before their performance. Bob Vylan's anti-IDF chants and pro-Palestine message added to the tension. Despite the BBC's decision, a massive crowd gathered for Kneecap's show, leading to safety concerns and the stage being closed. The band's performance, including a powerful intro by Mo Chara, was a hit with the audience.

One attendee live-streamed the set for fans unable to watch, while the BBC promised an on-demand version. Kneecap's set ended with a bold chant of 'F*ck Keir Starmer,' making a statement to their critics.
