Kneecap will be performing at Glastonbury on Saturday afternoon amidst controversy. The Irish rap group faces criticism for their upcoming set. Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, one of the trio, is on bail for a terrorism offence. He defended his actions as part of his onstage character. Despite objections from music executives and politicians, many musicians have expressed support for Kneecap. The group is backed by Glastonbury's founders and is expected to draw a large crowd at the festival.

At a recent event, Kneecap highlighted the plight of the Palestinian people, garnering support from festival attendees. The group's performance may challenge the BBC's impartiality guidelines. The controversy surrounding Kneecap reflects ongoing discussions about political issues at Glastonbury.
