US EditionKneecap's Eden Project gig cancelled amid row over 'kill MPs' comments
- The Belfast rap trio Kneecap had their Eden Project show scheduled for 4 July 2025 cancelled amid controversy over online videos.
- The cancellation came after two videos surfaced—one from November 2023 and another from November 2024—in which members of the band appeared to advocate for the deaths of MPs and expressed support for the banned groups Hamas and Hezbollah.
- Specialist investigators within London's Counter Terrorism Command have opened a probe into possible offences connected to the videos, while Kneecap issued an apology to the families of slain MPs and denied promoting violence.
- One video shows a member saying, "The only good Tory is a dead Tory," and the band claimed the footage had been exploited and weaponised against them.
- Following the cancellation, ticket holders were contacted for full refunds starting 30 April, and inquiries into the matter remain ongoing by counter-terrorism police.
