Global phenomenon\u00a0Kneecap\u00a0announce a live show at Dublin\u2019s 3Arena on 16 December 2026.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Kneecap, the Belfast-Derry trio, returned in 2026 with a blistering number 1 album \u2018FENIAN\u2019<\/em><\/strong> and played their biggest headline show to date at Crystal Palace Park in London, as well as multiple festival headline slots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ticket Details<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets \u20ac68.20 \/  \u20ac78.75 \/ \u20ac83.75  on sale this Friday 21 August at 10am from ticketmaster.ie<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subject to 12.5% Ticketmaster service charge per ticket (max \u20ac10.50).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you respond to a year that saw a lifetime\u2019s worth of chaos explode? Courtroom dramas and blacklisting, media madness and political policing, prime ministers intervening in festival lineups, attempts at censorship and stifling of expression? Kneecap aren\u2019t having any of that. There is finer art to be made. So, how do you respond? As the saying goes: is fearr l\u00fabadh n\u00e1 briseadh <\/em>– it\u2019s better to bend than to break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Masters of rave and rap theatre, FENIAN <\/em><\/strong>represents Kneecap\u2019s most sophisticated exploration of language and sounds. What began in 2017 as a DIY project with rudimentary hip-hop beats, has grown into a global movement. With FENIAN<\/em><\/strong>, Kneecap reclaim their creative territory developing massively along their own singular trajectory while the headlines were blasting and festival sound systems were blaring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Produced by Dan Carey (Fontaines D.C., Kae Tempest, Wet Leg), FENIAN<\/em><\/strong> upends expectations with an incredibly expansive sonic palate, traversing acid house, trip-hop, dubstep, and more, re-announcing Kneecap as utterly authentic and exceptionally creative artists of their generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following their BAFTA and Sundance-award-winning self-titled biopic, their critically acclaimed debut album, Fine Art<\/em><\/strong>, a Coachella performance that changed the culture and saw Kneecap centred as artists at the fore of the Palestine solidarity movement, a breathtaking Glastonbury performance, and becoming the most talked about rap group on the planet – never-mind the protests, murals, court appearances, countless front pages, relentless global media coverage, and massive shows around the world – Kneecap have resolved to do what they do best: make incredible tunes that bring thousands upon thousands of fans together to tear the place up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More darkness. More confrontation. More craic. More energy. More solidarity. More absolute bangers. And more fuel for the unrelenting engine that powers this unstoppable force. With their remarkable second album, Kneecap have come out fighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
