The Irish-language hip-hop trio Kneecap, known for their provocative lyrics and unapologetic political commentary, have found themselves at the center of a storm following their controversial performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2025. The Belfast-based group, consisting of Mo Chara (Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh), Móglaí Bap, and DJ Próvaí, sparked outrage with their outspoken anti-Israel messaging during their set, which some critics labeled as antisemitic. This controversy has been compounded by a recent terror charge against band member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, known as Mo Chara, for allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag during a London concert in November 2024.
