Kneecap also took to social media, writing: “We’re honoured to be welcoming Massive Attack to our Wembley show tomorrow night with a special audio/visual presentation. Get in early. Free Palestine Forever.”

Back in July, Massive Attack, Kneecap and other artists such as Fontaines D.C. and Brian Eno formed an an alliance for artists speaking out for Gaza, calling to “end threats and censorship against artists who speak against the genocide in Palestine.”

Most recently, Kneecap took over the Main Stage at Electric Picnic 2025 for what Hot Press called “a potent blend of music and political declaration.”
