Fontaines D.C led chants of "free Palestine' at TRNSMT festival in Glasgow
The group The Fontaines D.C were performing the penultimate main stage act at the music festival in Glasgow. The Fontaines D.C led chants of "free Palestine' at TRNSMT as the penultimate main stage act at the music festival in Glasgow. Many in the crowd were seen donning the Irish Tricolour, while others brought Palestine flags. Near the end of the show, a massive Palestine flag was put on screen in the middle of the stage, while huge screens flanked on either side of the stage read: 'Israel is committing a genocide use your voice.' 'Glasgow is home away from home,' he told the tens of thousands of fans who braved 30-degree weather to see them live, dedicating the song Favourite to the city. The Irish group had a Palestine flag draped over their equipment on stage and Carlos O'Connell had a free Palestine sticker on his guitar. The pinnacle of the set was when the group performed I Love You from their album, Skinty Fia. Free Palestine appeared on the two big screens on either side of the stage as Grian belted the line ' Selling genocide ' in the song's bridge and a Palestine flag appeared on the huge screen behind them. The chants and promotion of the 'free Palestine' cause came after TRNSMT had dropped West Belfast band Kneecap from the bill after Police Scotland raised safety fears. First minister John Swinney had also claimed Kneecap should not be allowed to play the festival. Supporters have described the controversy over bands speaking out as a diversion when babies are dying as a result of the conflict in the Middle East.
