British police reviewing footage of Kneecap's Glastonbury gig

British police are actively reviewing video footage from the Kneecap's Glastonbury performance after politically charged remarks were made by the rappers and fellow festival act Bob Vylan during their sets. Avon and Somerset Police confirmed it is assessing the recordings to determine if any criminal offences were committed, particularly in relation to calls for violence and incendiary language used on stage. In a post on social media on Saturday, the force said: 'We are aware of the comments made by acts on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury Festival this afternoon. 'Video evidence will be assessed to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation.' Móglaí Bap, DJ Próvaí and Mo Chara in the Kneecap movie. Pic: Sony Pictures/Everett/REX/Shutterstock However, British police confirmed no members of Belfast group Kneecap – a trio made up of Mo Chara, DJ Próvaí and Móglaí Bap – will face prosecution over remarks allegedly encouraging violence against Conservative MPs. The Metropolitan Police launched an investigation after footage from a concert in November 2023 circulated on social media, showing one member declaring: 'Kill your local MP. The only good Tory is a dead Tory.' The clip attracted fresh attention in April last year following Kneecap's appearance at US music festival Coachella, where the group made political statements about the conflict in Gaza. At that point, the footage was handed to the Metropolitan Police, prompting a formal investigation. Pic:) However, the force confirmed no charges would be brought over the comments, citing legal constraints. While Kneecap avoided charges over that footage, band member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh – known by his stage name Mo Chara – is facing a separate terrorism-related prosecution. Ó hAnnaidh, 27, appeared in court in London earlier this month after allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag at a show in the city, also in November 2023. His legal team argued the charge was filed too late. A judge is expected to rule on the issue on August 20.
