Kneecap Glasgow Hydro Presales and Ticket Prices: Here's how to get tickets to see the controversial Irish rappers
It’ll be the band’s biggest Scottish show to date - and demand for tickets is likely to be huge.
It’s been less than a week since Kneecap played Glasgow’s O2 Academy, following being axed from the TRNSMT music festival, but they’ve already announced their return to the city - and it’s a huge one.
The trio, comprised of Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí, released their first single in 2017, with their debut album 3CAG following a year later.
But they didn’t achieve widespread fame until last year, with the release of second album Fine Art and a hugely-successful semi-biographical film starring the three rappers - which won a BAFTA for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director, or Producer.
In May band member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was charged with a terror offence after allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah during a performance in November 2024.
Police then raised concerns about their appearance at TRNSMT potentially leading to disorder - leading to them being dropped from the bill.
The band played a triumphant set at Glastonbury recently, despite calls from politicians for them to be dropped, and played Glasgow’s O2 Academy just three days before they were mean to play Glasgow Green.
They’ve now announced a huge UK tour - including a date in Scotland.
