‘We will beat Government for second time in court' – Kneecap at largest ever gig
They were supporting Irish band Fontaines DC, whose front man Grian Chatten joined to perform their collaboration Better Way To Live.
People echoed the Belfast group's chants when they repeated the 'f*** Keir Starmer' and 'you're just a s*** Jeremy Corbyn' comments made at Glastonbury the previous weekend.
Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs as Mo Chara, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court earlier this month charged with a terror offence and will return next month.
Fellow member Naoise O Caireallain, who uses the stage name Moglai Bap, said 'if anyone's free on the 20th of August, you wanna go to the court and support Mo Chara' before shouting 'free Mo Chara, free, free Mo Chara'.
Wearing a keffiyeh, O hAnnaidh responded: 'I appreciate it, the 20th of August is going to be the second time Kneecap have beat the British Government in court – in their own court, on their own terms, and we're going to beat them for the second time.
'I tell you what, there is nothing like embarrassing the British Government.'
Last year Kneecap won a discrimination challenge over a decision by former business secretary Kemi Badenoch to refuse them a £14,250 funding award.
The UK Government conceded it was 'unlawful' after the band launched legal action claiming the decision to refuse the grant discriminated against them on grounds of nationality and political opinion.
It was agreed that the £14,250 sum would be paid by the Government to the group.
During the performance the group intermittently broke off the mosh pits and raucous crowd by addressing the war in Gaza, which is a recurring theme of their shows.
O hAnnaidh said: 'It's usually around this point of the gig that we decide to talk about what's happening in Palestine.
'I understand that it's almost inhumane that I'm thinking of new things to say on stage during a genocide, for sound bites.
'It's beyond words now, like, we always used to say obviously they're being bombed from the skies with nowhere to go, but it's beyond that now.
'They've been being starved for a few months on end, and not only that, the areas that they have set up, to collect aid and food, have turned into killing fields and they're killing hundreds a day trying to collect food.'
He continued: 'It's beyond words, but again, we played in Plymouth last night to 750 people and we did the same thing, so it doesn't matter how big or small our audience is, Kneecap will always use the platform for talking about this.'
O Caireallain had said earlier in the show: 'They can try and silence us, they can try and stop us, but we're not going to stop talking about Palestine – as long as there's a genocide happening in Palestine we're going to keep talking about it and yous are going to keep talking about it, and they can't stop us.'
The UN human rights office has recorded 613 killings near humanitarian convoys and at aid distribution points in Gaza run by an Israeli-backed American organisation since it began operations in late May.
On Friday its spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani said the rights office was not able to attribute responsibility for the killings, but 'it is clear that the Israeli military has shelled and shot at Palestinians trying to reach the distribution points' operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
The GHF has denied any serious injuries or deaths on its sites and says shootings outside their immediate vicinity are under the purview of Israel's military.
The Israeli military has said previously it fires warning shots to control crowds or at Palestinians who approach its troops.

Kneecap at Finsbury Park: 'infamy doesn't weigh heavily on them'
'If anybody is free on the 20th August, go to the court and support Mo Chara', says Moglai Bap, before chants of 'free Mo Chara' erupt from the crowd. 'There's nothing like embarrassing the British Government…you can never beat the Irish!' he adds. What follows is Guilty Conscience, a song with a chorus about masturbation, but Mo Chara is quick to follow a moment of levity with an impassioned speech about the importance of continuing to speak about the Palestinian people. 'It's something we all care about and sometimes it feels helpless because there's nothing we can do, but what's important right now is there's gonna be videos going around Gaza and the West Bank, and morale is a huge thing…we're on the right side of history, lads.'

Axing two-child benefit limit still on table but 'harder' after welfare U-turn
Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson insisted the Government will 'continue to look at every lever to lift children out of poverty' after reports plans to scrap two child limit 'dead' Scrapping the two-child benefit limit remains on the table - but last week's welfare U-turn will make it harder, a top minister has said. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson insisted the Government was "looking at every lever and we'll continue to look at every lever to lift children out of poverty". But she said it would be more difficult to find the money to axe the austerity-era measure after Keir Starmer was forced to gut his planned disability benefit cuts to see off a Labour revolt. The welfare climbdown has left a £5billion hole in Rachel Reeves's spending plans. Ms Phillipson, who is working on a long-awaited child poverty strategy, distanced herself from reports that plans to scrap the two-child limit were now "dead in the water". Many Labour MPs oppose the cap, which could become a new focal point for tensions between backbenchers and Downing Street. The policy, introduced in 2017, restricts claims for Child Tax Credit and Universal Credit to the first two children. About 1.6 million children live in households affected by it, which would cost around £3.4billion a year to lift. The Institute for Fiscal Studies has estimated that getting rid of the cap would lift 500,000 children out of relative poverty. Asked if the Government could no longer afford to scrap it, she told the BBC: "We're looking at every lever, we will continue to look at every lever to lift children out of poverty. It will be the moral mission of this Labour government, to lift children out of poverty." But she said there was a cost to the decision to shelve plans to restrict eligibility for the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) until after a review next year. Ms Phillipson said: "The decisions that have been taken in the last week do make decisions, future decisions harder. But all of that said, we will look at this collectively in terms of all of the ways that we can lift children out of poverty." She said she was "not going to pretend that it hasn't been a tough or a challenging week" and acknowledged that the Government botched its handling of the welfare reforms. "What the Prime Minister has said, and what I also believe, is that what we set out, we pushed ahead too fast, we didn't listen enough to people, including, I would say, including to lots of people who had concerns about the nature of that change," she said.
