The controversial Irish rap group Kneecap has canceled its upcoming US tour — which included a New York City rooftop show — as one of its members prepares for trial for allegedly supporting Hamas.
The Belfast-based group said it would have to cancel its 15 tour dates, set to start Oct. 1, while Liam O hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, prepares to attend a court hearing in London in late September.
O hAnnaidh was charged under the Terrorism Act in Britain for waving Hezbollah’s flag during a show while allegedly yelling, “Up Hamas! Up Hezbollah!”
