Kneecap set to perform at Glastonbury Festival today despite backlash from politicians
Irish rap trio Kneecap are to perform at Glastonbury Festival on Saturday, despite a number of politicians, including the prime minister, calling for them to be banned from the event. It comes after one of the band's members, Liam Og O hAnnaidh 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. Last week the rapper, who performs under the name Mo Chara, 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. He was released on unconditional bail until the next hearing at the same court on August 20. Last week Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said it would not be "appropriate" for them to perform in the slot, which is due to go ahead on the Somerset festival's West Holts Stage at 4pm on Saturday. Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch also said the BBC "should not be showing" the trio's set in a post on social media last week. Badenoch said in an X post, which was accompanied by an article from The Times which said the BBC had not banned the group: "The BBC should not be showing Kneecap propaganda. "One Kneecap band member is currently on bail, charged under the Terrorism Act. "As a publicly funded platform, the BBC should not be rewarding extremism." Kneecap are not listed as one of the acts being shown live by the broadcaster. In an initial post in response to the charge, Kneecap said: '14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us... 'Instead of defending innocent people, or the principles of international law they claim to uphold, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine in Gaza, just as they did in Ireland for centuries. Then, like now, they claim justification. 'The IDF units they arm and fly spy plane missions for are the real terrorists, the whole world can see it.' Ahead of the group's set, an Avon and Somerset Police spokesperson told the PA news agency: "Ticket-holders can once again expect to see uniformed officers on site at Glastonbury Festival 24/7 throughout the festival as part of our extensive policing operation ensuring it is safe for everyone attending, as well as those who live nearby."

Alan Fletcher, ex-Neighbours star, set for Glasgow gig
Alan Fletcher's new tour across the UK and Ireland, which will stop at the Centre for Contemporary Arts on September 24, is his "most ambitious and far-reaching." The singer is also set to release his latest single Back to School on July 3. (Image: Supplied) Mr Fletcher said: "My 2025 tour of the UK and Ireland is my most ambitious and far-reaching. "Last year's tour sold out and, for the first time, I had a real sense that people came to hear the music, not to just meet my alter-ego Dr Karl.

"I suspect this tour is going to be a ripper and I cannot wait to share my new music with Brit and Irish fans everywhere." Mr Fletcher became a household name during his 30-year tenure on the Australian soap Neighbours, best known for his role as Dr Karl Kennedy. In 2020, he decided to move away from rock music and pursue a solo career in Americana, alt-country, and folk music. His recent projects include the album The Point and single Tell 'Em, a country music duet with his partner of 35 years and fellow bandmate, Jennifer Hansen. The singer has also been hinting at what fans can expect from his new track, Back to School. He said: "I have been a student of love all my life and the most valuable lesson I ever had was from English philosopher Alain de Botton. "Alain reminds us that, while it is easy to fall in love, staying in love takes work. "We have to learn how to love so, perhaps, the secret to staying in love is to go... back to school (cue song)."
