Moment police & SNIFFER DOG scour Kneecap dressing room ahead of Glasgow gig
THIS is the moment police and sniffer dogs scour Kneecap's dressing room ahead of the band's sold-out Glasgow gig. The Irish rappers are performing at the O2 Academy tonight after they were axed from the TRNSMT line-up in May. 5 Police and sniffer dogs were captured scouring Kneecap's dressing room at the O2 Academy 5 A video shows an officer leading a dog around the room 5 The group arriving in Glasgow earlier on today ahead of the sold-out gig Credit: PA The group were ditched by promoters DF Concerts amid 'safety concerns' around the July 11 event. It follows a row over an investigation by counter-terror police into rapper Mo Chara, who is accused of terrorism offences related to a Hezbollah flag he allegedly held up on stage. They apologised to fans following the TRNSMT decision, and in a bid to "try to make up for it", the band decided to put on a show at the O2 Academy. And ahead of their show, police and sniffer dogs were scouring their dressing room. A video which was shared on the band's Instagram shows an officer leading a dog around the room while members sit on some sofas. Another snap on the group's Facebook shows a van with a 'search dogs' sticker on the side. Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamar are also performing in the city today, with Police Scotland "aiming to minimise disruption". Cops also stated that a "proportionate and considered policing plan" is currently in place during the gigs. Superintendent Paul Douglas said: "We are aware of a number of events and concerts due to take place in the Greater Glasgow area in the week beginning Monday July 7 2025. "A proportionate and considered policing plan is in place within the city and we are working with a number of stakeholders to ensure the safety of all those attending these events and where possible minimise disruption to the people of Glasgow." Crowds gather as Kneecap play Glasgow gig after TRNSMT axe Pictures from the venue earlier showed the group arriving and waving to fans, with member Móglaí Bap wearing a classic Celtic Bumblee away shirt. Meanwhile, Mo Chara greeted fans with a peace sign as security led the pair into the venue. Police were also standing by outside the O2 with pro-Palestine demonstrators gathered nearby. Door staff were ordering fans to remove tricolour-style balaclavas, like that worn by Kneecap member DJ Próvaí. Police Scotland have been approached for comment. 5 Mo Chara greeted fans as security led the pair into the venue Credit: PA
