PICTURE OF THE DAY – Wednesday 27 August 2025

Belfast‘s notorious, politically and socially outspoken rap trio KNEECAP make headlines these days with being under attack by British justice, being banned at festivals, and with other related problems for their loud and clear, ongoing support for Palestine.

Some hypocritical Western governments act as if the
band is the problem, not Israel‘s demolition of Gaza.

I hope now that they won’t be attacked by some French art purists who could possibly
be offended by the band’s advertisement poster (on top) for a couple of upcoming gigs
in Paris.

Last Saturday I was at Pukkelpop Festival in Belgium.

I saw 8 bands/artists and all of them drew attention to the
still ongoing, horrific genocide in Gaza. Kudos to them.

One of them were the so-called controversial (when you condemn Israel out loud,
most hypocritical Western governments label you controversial) Irish rappers KNEECAP
who delivered a tempestuous set. At the end of the show, ‘Free Palestine‘ flickered on
the big screen behind them.

KNEECAP – Irish Rap Sensation Incite Crowd At Reading/Leeds Festival With Firecracker ‘BHFIACHE LINNE’ Our Debts

Posted on by JL

Irish rap sensation KNEECAP released their critically praised
debut album FINE ART last June and it will catapult them to
indie stardom.

NME said: “The Belfast rap trio keep the Irish language alive with a hedonistic
but brave debut. In the dark of the night out, the moment is all that matters and
the rave will set you free. To shout that in a ‘dying’ language on a record that
couldn’t sound any more alive? That’s power – and Kneecap have it.”

This past weekend the trio played Reading/Leeds Festival and incited
the crowd with a salvo of sharp-teethed rants. Here’s one of those
firecrackers, ‘BHFIACHE LINNE’ (‘Our Debts’ in English).

Join the moshpit.
