Kneecap led an anti-Keir Starmer chant during their Glastonbury set on Saturday. The Irish hip-hop group took to the West Holts stage and reiterated their political stance against the Prime Minister, who had previously criticised the band’s inclusion in the festival line-up. Prior to their set, Sir Keir said that Kneecap’s gig would not be “appropriate” after one of the members was charged with a t3rr0r 0ff3nce. The BBC confirmed that they would not be live-streaming Kneecap’s performance. The band then addressed the Glastonbury crowd during their gig, saying: “F***ing love the English people. It’s the English Government we don’t like. We’re not far away from a Celtic republic. F*** Keir Starmer.”
The three artists then chanted in unison, “F*** Keir Starmer! F*** Keir Starmer! F*** Keir Starmer!” The huge crowd reportedly joined in with the chant, and Kneecap then performed their controversial soundtrack, Get Your Brits Out.

Also, earlier in their performance, Mo Chara, whose real name is Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, declared, “Palestinian Action isn’t arming Israel. That’s Keir Starmer.”
A BBC spokesperson stated: “As the broadcast partner, the BBC is bringing audiences extensive music coverage from Glastonbury, with artists booked by the festival organisers.
“While the BBC doesn’t ban artists, our plans ensure that our programming meets our editorial guidelines. We don’t always live-stream every act from the main stages and look to make an on-demand version of Kneecap’s performance available on our digital platforms, alongside more than 90 other sets.”
