[CANCELLED: October 8, 2025] Kneecap / Bricknasty
Kneecap was making news all over the world by the time I heard about this show. And Irish trio who raps in Engliash and Irish? Sounds amazing. They are political and very vocal. And because they are so notorious, this show was sold out. And then, more controversy caused them to cancel their entire U.S. tour:
Kneecap have cancelled the entirety of their 2025 United States tour. The tour was set to being on October 1 in New York City and run for 15 shows; four shows in Vancouver and Toronto will continue as planned.
In a press statement, the Irish rap group said they were forced to pull the dates as they were too close to a scheduled court date for Kneecap member Mo Chara, who faces a terrorism charge for displaying a flag of the militant group Hezbollah during a 2024 concert.
They are still doing their thing, but I have no idea if they’ll come to the U.S. especially right now.
Bricknasty is another Irish rap band. They blend experimental jazz, hip hop and neo-soul. They seem like a much mor mellow bunch, but they share the same values.
This would have been an interesting show to be sure.
