In pictures: Kneecap perform to a packed out crowd at Glastonbury

Kneecap's Glastonbury set didn't fail to disappoint on Saturday, with swaths of fans pouring to catch the Irish hip-hop trio. Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap, and DJ Próvaí took to the West Holts stage on Saturday afternoon and so many punters flocked to the stage that festival bosses had to shut down the area and turn fans away. It comes after calls came to remove the musicians from their set. However, while they remained, the BBC decided against live streaming the set, much to the disappointment of fans at home. Kneecap's Mo Chara told the audience "I'm a free man" when the group appeared on West Holts Stage on Saturday afternoon. At one point, a moshpit opened up for the most excited revellers, while others started up political chants of "F**k Keir Starmer" have joined shouts of "Free Palestine" and "F**k the Daily Mail". Musician Jelani Blackman joined Kneecap on stage for Harrow Road, before finishing his guest appearance with calls of "free free" to which the crows responds "Palestine".

Irish acts are packed into the festival's list of acts. Yesterday, singer CMAT received rave reviews after playing to festival goers from the Pyramid Stage.
