Kneecap announce three Dublin dates this autumn

Irish hip-hop phenomenon Kneecap have announced three of Vicar Street dates this autumn, as part of their Fine Art tour.

The shows will follow a string of summer festival dates, including Electric Picnic, as well as a September USA tour that will take the band to Philadelphia, New York City and more.

The tour accompanies their debut album Fine Art, set to come out on June 14 and available for pre-order here. Their title track is available on all platforms.

On top of their musical releases, Kneecap have also put out a feature film this year, a dramedy that tells the story of the rap group and how they became the unexpected face of a protest in defence of the Irish language.

It is a reimagined telling of the trio’s origin story, played by the band members themselves: Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, Naoise Ó Cairealláin, and JJ Ó Dochartaigh. The film won Utah’s Sundance Film Festival Audience Award: NEXT in January. It was the first Irish-language title to ever premiere at the festival.

Its UK premiere will also open the Sundance Film Festival in London on June 6.

Tickets for Kneecap’s Vicar Street October shows will be available this Friday here.
