Organisers of the Eden Sessions have cancelled a scheduled performance by controversial Irish rap trio Kneecap.
ORGANISERS of the Eden Sessions have cancelled a scheduled performance by controversial Irish rap trio Kneecap.
It comes after one of the group appeared to call for Conservative MPs to be killed, and another appeared to shout “up Hamas, up Hezbollah” in historical gig footage, sparking a furious public backlash this week.
An Eden Sessions spokesperson said yesterday: “Eden Sessions Limited announced today that the Kneecap show at Eden Project scheduled for July 4, 2025, has been cancelled.
“Ticket purchasers will be contacted directly and will be fully refunded.
“The refund process will commence from Wednesday, April 30, 2025. Refunds will be processed against the original payment cards used. Purchasers should allow six working days for funds to be received into their accounts.”
