Starmer: Kneecap should not perform at Glastonbury festival

Group has made headlines with their pro-Palestinian stance

- 

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said it was not “appropriate” for Irish group Kneecap to perform at Glastonbury, one of the country's biggest and most famous music festivals.

Asked in an interview by The Sun tabloid whether the Irish rap trio should perform at the iconic festival next week, Starmer responded: “No, I don’t, and I think we need to come down really clearly on this.

“This is about the threats that shouldn’t be made. I won’t say too much because there’s a court case on, but I don’t think that’s appropriate,” he added.
