🎶 What a night at Green Man Festival! 🎶 Kneecap, the fiery Irish rap trio, set the stage ablaze, taking their Celtic spirit to new heights in Wales. Thursday night saw them stirring up quite the storm—not just with their beats, but with their bold words!
In their first-ever Welsh festival performance, Kneecap didn’t hold back. They took aim at the BBC for choosing not to live stream their Glastonbury set, chanting a defiant “f*** the BBC” to the delight of festival-goers. Their passion for change was electric, intertwining music with powerful messages of solidarity.
But that wasn’t all! The trio gave a warm welcome on stage to Welsh cafe owner Helen Wilson. Remember her? She’s the hero who live-streamed their Glastonbury gig on TikTok, catching the eyes of millions worldwide! 🏆 Helen got a thunderous round of applause from the audience, dubbed a true hero by the band.
Kneecap’s set wasn’t just about music; it was a statement. They stood firm on their commitment to Palestine and shone a light on Liam Ă“g Ă“ hAnnaidh’s upcoming court appearance, stressing their ongoing battle against what they call political silence tactics.
This fiery band from Belfast and Derry knows a thing or two about resilience, having already won a court case after a blocked arts grant last year. As they united the crowd with chants of “Free, Free Palestine,” their message was crystal clear: Celtic brothers, stand together. The fight for international solidarity is now stronger than ever. ✊
With Green Man Festival set to wrap up on Sunday, there’s still so much magic to experience. Don’t miss out on the stunning line-up, including Underworld, Wet Leg, and Gwenno, among others.
Catch the buzz, feel the pulse, and join in on the movement… because at Green Man, it’s all about the music and the message. 🌿🎤 #GreenMan2025 #Kneecap #HelenTheHero #CelticBrothers #FreePalestine
