Irish rap group Kneecap perform at the Reading Festival in Reading, with both outlets reporting that the trio says “f*** Benjamin Netanyahu” during their set.
The Belfast Telegraph and The Mirror describe the band as a West Belfast trio and link the performance to their politically charged style. The Mirror reports the group appears as the festival’s headline act on Sunday and performs material from its latest album, FENIAN. The Belfast Telegraph similarly frames the appearance as part of a high-profile festival moment.
While both accounts agree on the key incident—the profanity aimed at Benjamin Netanyahu—coverage focuses on slightly different aspects: one highlights the headline nature of the slot, and the other emphasizes the political provocation within the performance. Neither article text provided here includes details on audience reaction, festival response, or any official follow-up.
