The trio's set on Friday at the Vital festival in Belfast also criticised UK Tory leader Kemi Badenoch and called for the US military to be kept out of Ireland.

Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, told the crowd at Boucher Playing Fields: “It's good to be home.”

Naoise O Caireallain, aka Moglai Bap, added: “I would like to thank the DUP and the Alliance Party, and their supporters, for trying to cancel this gig. You couldn't pay for the PR the DUP gives Kneecap.”

“We owe the DUP our career, so this is our public thanks for the DUP,” O hAnnaidh said.
