KNEECAP have hit pause on their October U.S. tour. All 15 dates are officially canceled, thanks to a looming court hearing in London on September 26 — the latest chapter in what the group calls the British government’s ongoing “witch-hunt.”

Every single U.S. date had sold out, making the news sting even harder for fans. But the band promises this isn’t the end — once they win their case, they’ll be back with an even bigger U.S. tour.

Canadian fans, you’re in luck. The four sold-out shows in Toronto and Vancouver are still happening as planned.

And there’s a silver lining for U.S. listeners: KNEECAP teased something very special” dropping next week to connect with fans in October. No details yet — but they’re hinting it’s worth sticking around for.

As the band signs off:

“The revolution will be no re-run, brothers.
The revolution will be live.”

Refunds for U.S. shows are available at the original point of purchase.


Watch: The Recap


A Summer of Highs, Headlines & Havoc

If there’s one thing KNEECAP never does, it’s play small. This summer alone, they’ve:

  • Torn up Glastonbury
  • Opened for Fontaines D.C. at massive outdoor shows
  • Sparked headlines with their vocal support for Palestinian freedom at Coachella
  • Rolled into Sundance in a police Land Rover
  • Encouraged thousands to learn Irish
  • Annoyed right-wing politicians everywhere

And that’s not even counting the praise they’ve been racking up from The Los Angeles TimesThe New York TimesPitchforkThe GuardianRolling StoneNPR, and more.

With their mix of punk, rap, rave energy, and a revolutionary spirit, KNEECAP have built a global wave of fans united in community, chaos, and sweaty, cathartic shows.
