Kneecap to host one-off livestream concert for U.S. following tour cancellation: All you need to know

Irish rap trio Kneecap have officially announced a one-off livestream concert for their U.S. fans. This move comes after the band was forced to cancel their sold-out American tour.

The newly announced event will broadcast on Friday, October 10, 2025, at 9:00 p.m. EST from a secret location in Ireland. From Kneecap, this movie is being framed as an act of defiance in the wake of controversy that derailed their U.S. tour plans.

The announcement comes weeks after Kneecap pulled the plug on 15 American dates. They cited the legal drama related to member Mo Chara. He is currently facing a terrorism-related charge in the U.K. His next court hearing is scheduled for September 26, 2025, in London.

Kneecap took to their official Instagram page to announce the upcoming livestream, captioning:

"🚨 USA Fenians..... and Fenians across the world....🌍📺 October 10th we will be with you LIVE and direct from Ireland. We were not willing to allow this British witch-hunt stop us playing to tens of thousands of fans across the US so have a very special gig to bring to you from a secret location in Ireland."

The post continued:

"Join us on October 10th for much more than a gig....it is a moment for us all to stand together in defiance and solidarity. 🇮🇪 🤝 🇵🇸 📡We will broadcast across the world at 9 pm EST (6 pm PST) on October 10th. It will also be shown in Kings Theatre, Brooklyn. It will be fully LIVE and uncensored by those who wish to silence us. 🗽Fans in NYC can gather together at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn where the gig will be broadcast in the historic venue on a giant screen on stage."

Adding ticketing info, Kneecap mentioned:

Kneecap's official statement on recent 2025 U.S. tour cancellation

The group made an official Instagram post to announce the cancellation in August 2025. Their post read:

"To all our US based fans, we have some bad news. Due to the close proximity of our next court hearing in London on September 26, as the British government continues its witch-hunt, with the start of the U.S. tour, we will have to cancel all 15 U.S. tour dates in October. With every show fully sold out this is news we are sad to deliver. But once we win our court case, which we will, we promise to embark on an even bigger tour to all you great heads."

Kneecap also added:

"Canadian shows are NOT affected and we will be playing our 4 sold out shows in Vancouver and Toronto. We also have some good news. We will be sharing something very special for US fans next week so that we can still link in with you all in October. It's top secret for now but all will be revealed next week, stay tuned. And remember…"The revolution will be no re-run, brothers. The revolution will be live""
