Fresh from their performance at Reading and Leeds, the Belfast rap trio have announced a huge jaunt kicking off at Pabellón Oestein in Mexico on October 15.
From there the band will kick off a series of UK and Ireland dates in support of their new album ‘Fenian’, the following month starting at the O2 Guildhall Southampton on November 28.
Further dates will call at Bristol, Wolverhampton, Manchester, Newcastle, Hull, Swansea, Glasgow, Liverpool, Bradford and Nottingham before wrapping up at Dublin 3Arena on December 16.
Tickets go on sale this Friday (September 4) at 10am BST and can be purchased here. You can view the full list of dates below.
The rap trio were recently awarded four and a half stars for their performance at Reading on Sunday (August 30), with NME describing the “Belfast trouble-mongers delivering a feel-good blast to end the weekend”.
It added: “An arena-busting live show with the spirit of a lock-in but with the pulse and spectacle of The Chemical Brothers, the electro-punk abandon of The Prodigy, and the truth-spitting fire of Public Enemy – with an eyegasm live production to match.”.
O álbum recente deles também recebeu uma avaliação de quatro e meio estrelas da NME.
We said: “‘Fenian’ is a spraypainted brick wall of consistency, amplifying the adventure of The Prodigy and Burial, seamlessly but tastefully hopping genres while keeping the vibe up to retain Kneecap’s knack for having a good time to illuminate the hard times.
Put all the rage-bait headlines aside and what you’re left with is a solid, progressive and fearless album from a group that could just as easily be dicking around instead of making music that matters.
In that sense at least, their day has come.”.

Elsewhere, the band are set to make an appearance on Tom Morello‘s forthcoming album ‘Everyone Gets Everything They Want’, which is out on September 25 via Mom + Pop Music.
They feature on the track ‘Unconquered’. You pre-order/pre-save the album here.
Morello recently described Kneecap as “clearly the Rage Against The Machine of now”, praising the trio for their outspoken political stance. “What they’re doing in their art is what people could probably stand to do more in their lives: to really speak truth to power,” he said.
The comments prompted Disturbed frontman David Draiman to call Morello “shameful”, before Kneecap responded by describing Draiman as a “straight up c**t”.
