Kneecap cancel US tour dates amid court case

In a statement posted on social media, the band said “due to the proximity of our next court hearing in London to the first date of the tour” they have to “cancel all 15 tour dates in October”.

“With every show fully sold out, to tens of thousands of fans, this is news we are sad to deliver,” it continued.

“But once we win our court case, which we will, we promise to embark on an even bigger tour to all you great heads.”

The rap trio, who performed in Paris on Sunday night, said their planned Canadian shows in Vancouver and Toronto will still go ahead.
