Kneecap have announced details of a winter tour taking place across the UK later this year. Check out the details below.

The new announcement comes amid an eventful year for the Irish hip-hop trio – having stirred controversy with their 2024 on-stage comments and 2025 Coachella set, released the explosive single ‘The Recap’, and getting people talking with their slots at Glastonbury, Wide Awake & 2000 Trees.

Now, the members have announced that they will be heading out on a UK headline tour later this year.

In total, 10 new shows have been added to their stacked touring schedule for this year, and new dates kick off with a slot at the O2 Academy in Bournemouth on November 14. From there, shows in Liverpool, Cardiff, Bristol, Leeds, and Newcastle follow on November 15, 17, 18, 21 and 22 respectively.

Other new shows include appearances at the Octagon in Sheffield (24), and the O2 Academy in Birmingham (27). The tour wraps up with a penultimate stop at Manchester Academy on November 28 and Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on November 30.

Tickets go on sale on July 18 at 10am, and pre-sale options start from July 16 at 10am. Visit here for tickets and more information.

The live shows also follow on from more festival slots Kneecap have planned for this summer, including shows at Off, Way Out West, OYA, Flow, Sziget and Green Man.

From there, they also have a huge Manchester show with Fontaines D.C. at Wythenshawe Park scheduled for August 15, four headline shows in Amsterdam in September and their biggest headline show to date at London’s Wembley Arena on September 18.

Their tour wraps up with two sold-out nights at Dublin’s 3Arena on December 16 and 17.

In other Kneecap news, yesterday (July 14), the members responded to Disturbed frontman David Draiman’s attack on them, describing him as a “straight up c**t”.

The comments stem from when Tom Morello described the Irish rap trio as “clearly the Rage Against The Machine of now” last week, praising them for “speaking truth to power” in their outspoken support for the people of Palestine and criticism of the government of Israel.
