Kneecap Cancels U.S. Tour Due To Court Hearing
Kneecap canceled their October U.S. tour after Mo Chara’s courtroom date in London was scheduled too near the primary present.
Kneecap pulled the plug on their absolutely booked U.S. tour this October as Mo Chara, one-third of the Irish Hip-Hop group, prepares to face a terrorism-related courtroom listening to in London tied to an alleged flag show.
The Belfast-based trio introduced Monday (August 25) that they had been pressured to cancel all 15 dates of their American run, citing the timing of Chara’s authorized proceedings.
His next hearing is scheduled for September 26, simply days earlier than the tour was set to start.
“Due to the proximity of our next court hearing in London to the first date of the tour,” the group stated in a press release, “we have to cancel all 15 tour dates in October.”
The group has rejected the allegation, saying the video footage was misrepresented.
They added that the clip is being “exploited and weaponised” and emphasised that Kneecap has “never supported Hamas or Hezbollah.”
The group expressed disappointment over the cancellation, saying, “With every show fully sold out, to tens of thousands of fans, this is news we are sad to deliver.”
Still, they continue to be assured in regards to the end result of the case.
“But once we win our court case, which we will, we promise to embark on an even bigger tour to all you great heads.”
A chief Justice of the Peace will decide on September 26 whether or not Chara will stand trial.
