KNEECAP announced for The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon next week

KNEECAP are about to celebrate yet another career milestone – after confirming this afternoon that they'll be making their American chat show debut next Friday, March 8, with an appearance on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.

As part of their Stateside visit, the West Belfast trio will be playing a run of North American shows – including an appearance at SXSW in Austin, Texas, and an opening slot for the Dropkick Murphys at their St Patrick's Day show at the MGM Music Hall in Boston.

The news follows KNEECAP's lauded appearance on RTÉ's The Late Late Show last Friday, which saw them perform their track 'Better Way To Live' – and use their platform to speak out about Israel's attacks on Gaza.

Last week, KNEECAP announced that their long-awaited debut album, Fine Art, is set to be released on June 14 via Heavenly Recordings – and shared 'Sick In The Head' as the LP's latest single.

The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon – which has previously welcomed fellow Irish act (and KNEECAP's recent collaborators) Fontaines D.C. – celebrated its 10th anniversary last month, having first premiered in February 2014.

This has been a hugely busy period for KNEECAP, following the world premiere of Rich Peppiatt's film starring and inspired by the trio, at the Sundance Film Festival. KNEECAP, which also features Michael Fassbender, won the highly coveted Audience Award in the festival's NEXT section.

Fine Art is available to pre-order now. 

🗽📺 All American heads!
