KNEECAP defended their provocative performances as "satirical" ahead of playing Glastonbury this afternoon.

The rap trio are due to take to the West Holts stage at 4pm over a week after one of their members appeared in court and as politicians criticised their participation in the festival.

Liam O hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, along with bandmates Naoise O Caireallain (Moglai Bap), and JJ O Dochartaigh (DJ Provai), said the controversies are a distraction from what is happening to Palestinians.
