Mo Chara says ‘I'm a free man' as Kneecap take to Glastonbury stage

Kneecap member Mo Chara said 'Glastonbury, I'm a free man' as the Irish rap trio took to the West Holts Stage at the festival on Saturday. The group, who hail from Belfast, have been in the headlines after member Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence. Advertisement News broadcasts criticising the hip hop trio played from the sound system before they walked onto the stage were booed by the Glastonbury Festival audience. Kneecap member DJ Provai signals to the crowd on the West Holts Stage (Yui Mok/PA) Access to the area around the West Holts Stage was closed around 45 minutes before their performance after groups of fans arrived to form a sea of Irish and Palestinian flags. In the run up to the festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset, several British politicians called for the group to be removed from the line-up and UK prime minister Sir Keir Starmer said their performance would not be 'appropriate'. Earlier on Saturday, the BBC confirmed they would not be live-streaming the set but said the performance is likely to be made available on-demand later. Advertisement No access to West Holts Please head to another area of the site - thank you — Glastonbury Festival (@glastonbury) June 28, 2025 A BBC spokesperson said: '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.'

'They WILL put our set from Glastonbury today on the iPlayer later this evening for your viewing pleasure.' O hAnnaidh, 27, was charged with allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah, while saying 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah' at a gig in November last year. On June 18th, the rapper was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh at Westminster Magistrates' Court in Free Mo Chara T-shirts. Advertisement He was released on unconditional bail until the next hearing at the same court on August 20th. Ahead of the group's performance, Gemma Gibson, 41, from Newcastle told the PA news agency that she was 'really excited' to see Kneecap perform. Asked if their set should have been cancelled amid the ongoing controversy, she said: 'Well, that would be completely against everything that Glastonbury stands for… This is where they should be.' Kaiser Chiefs performing on the Pyramid Stage (Yui Mok/PA) Also playing on Saturday afternoon were Leeds rock band Kaiser Chiefs and US star Brandi Carlile, who released an album with Sir Elton John earlier in the year.

Neil Young, best known for songs such as Rockin' In The Free World, Like A Hurricane and Cinnamon Girl, will headline the Pyramid Stage on Saturday night with his band the Chrome Hearts. The BBC will broadcast Young's set after previously saying it would not be shown 'at the artist's request'.

The BBC is providing livestreams of the five main stages: Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Woodsies and The Park.

Glastonbury rapper leads ‘death to IDF' chant

Chants of 'death to the IDF' were heard at Glastonbury on Saturday ahead of the appearance of the pro-Palestinian Irish rappers Kneecap. There was vocal support for the Palestinian cause from the festival crowd, with flags flown among the fans and in front of the main stage. During his set, the rapper Bob Vylan shouted out: 'Death to the IDF' – a reference to the Israel Defense Forces – and spoke of his support for Kneecap. One estimate from an eyewitness suggested that, at one stage, half the thousands-strong crowd were chanting 'Death to the IDF'. As Nilufer Yanya performed an earlier set, the words 'Free Free Palestine' flashed up on the screen behind her and a pro-Palestinian banner was brought on stage. It came as the BBC confirmed that it would not screen Kneecap's set on The Other Stage live on Saturday afternoon, saying an edited version would be made available on demand later. Politicians and music industry officials had petitioned Glastonbury to drop the band, after rapper Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was charged with a terrorism offence for allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag at a gig last year. Hezbollah is proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the UK. Mr Ó hAnnaidh will appear in court for a further hearing on Aug 20. He has not yet entered a plea, but in a statement posted on social media in May, Kneecap said: 'We deny this 'offence' and will vehemently defend ourselves.' Glastonbury defended the decision to proceed with the gig, with organiser Emily Eavis saying: 'There have been a lot of really heated topics this year, but we remain a platform for many, many artists from all over the world and, you know, everyone is welcome here.' Kneecap's appearance has caused problems for the BBC, which had to decide whether it could broadcast their set and meet its obligations to impartiality and offensive language. In a statement, the corporation said: 'Whilst 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.'

Fury as Glastonbury crowd chants 'Death to the IDF!' and 'Free Palestine!' in scenes aired live on the BBC

The Glastonbury crowd was led in chants of 'Free Palestine' and 'Death to the IDF' by act Bob Vylan on Saturday, prompting fury from supporters of Israel on social media. The English punk duo were performing directly before Irish language rap trio Kneecap, who the BBC refused to show live after a number of controversial incidents including one of its members being charged with a terror offence. Kneecap has faced calls in recent months to be stripped from the festival line-up, with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer calling their performance 'not appropriate'. Mo Chara, along with bandmates Naoise Ó Caireallain (Móglaí Bap), and JJ Ó Dochartaigh (DJ Próvaí), have repeatedly argued controversy surrounding their performances is a distraction from the horrors endured by Palestinians amid Israel's war in Gaza. They said they are happy to lose income and clout in order to be 'on the right side of history', and said they hoped that 'being vocal and being unafraid' would encourage other bands to speak up on Palestine. Kneecap member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, 27, appeared in court last week after being charged for allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah while saying 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah' at a gig in November last year. On June 18 the rapper was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with bandmates Westminster Magistrates' Court in Free Mo Chara T-shirts. The BBC previously confirmed it would not livestream Kneecap's performance but would likely upload an edited version on iPlayer later - but if it hoped to avoid controversy over the war in Gaza bosses will be disappointed. In the act just before Kneecap, singer/guitarist Bobby Vylan and drummer Bobbie Vylan, who founded their band in 2017 in Ipswich, flashed up a large message in support of Palestinians while their set was being broadcast live by the BBC. The message read: 'Free Palestine. United Nations have called it a genocide. The BBC calls it a "conflict".' They then led the huge crowd in chants of 'Free Free Palestine' and 'Death Death to the IDF'. Afterwards singer Bob Vylan told fans: 'From the river to the sea Palestine must be, will be, free.' The current war in Gaza was triggered by an attack by terrorist organisation Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023 in which some 1,200 people were killed and took more than 251 people hostage. In response Israel launched a full-scale invasion of the Gaza strip which has lasted almost two years and has led to the deaths of at least 56,412 people, many children and civilians. The United Nations has said Israel's actions, which include severely limited vital aid such as food, water and medical supplies into the Gaza Strip and raiding or bombing hospitals as 'consistent with the characteristics of Genocide'. An international arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also been issued by the International Criminal Court. Israel denies it is committing genocide and claims there is no food shortage for the two million Gazans who live in the strip, something that is widely disputed by aid organisations and international bodies, which have warned thousands of babies are at risk of dying of famine. Performing on stage earlier, singer Bob Vylan was open in his and his bandmate's support for Palestinians. He said: 'Recently a list was released of people trying to stop our mates Kneecap from performing here today. And who do I see on that f***ing list, but that bald-headed c*** I used to work for.' Vylan had been speaking about a colleague at a record company he used to work at.
