Hot on the heels of their explosive Reading and Leeds Festival appearances, Belfast hip-hop sensation Kneecap has unveiled dates for a sprawling global tour. The expansive run is in support of their critically acclaimed album Fenian.
The international trek will officially kick off on October 15 at the Pabellón Oeste in Mexico City, moving through South America before heading to Europe. Fans in the UK and Ireland will get their chance to see the trio live starting late November, with the leg launching at the O2 Guildhall in Southampton on November 28 and concluding with a massive arena show at Dublin's 3Arena on December 16. The band has also slated dates in New Zealand for early 2027.
General admission tickets are scheduled to go on sale at 10:00 am BST this coming Friday, September 4.
The announcement arrives as Kneecap rides a wave of overwhelming critical momentum. Their recent festival sets have been lauded as high-octane spectacles, drawing favorable comparisons to the electronic punk energy of The Prodigy and the rebellious hip-hop spirit of Public Enemy. Their studio effort, Fenian, has similarly been praised as a genre-blending masterpiece that balances fierce social commentary with an unrelenting party atmosphere.
Beyond their intense touring schedule, the trio is making headlines for high-profile collaborations. Kneecap will appear on the track "Unconquered" from Tom Morello’s upcoming solo project, Everyone Gets Everything They Want, due out September 25. The Rage Against the Machine guitarist recently championed the group as the modern-day equivalent of his own legendary band—a high compliment that ultimately sparked a bitter, expletive-laden war of words between Disturbed vocalist David Draiman and the Belfast rappers.
