Due to demand Kneecap – have had to add an extra date to 3Arena, Dublin

Kneecap 
3Arena, Dublin 
17th December 2025  – SOLD OUT 
EXTRA DATE ADDED 16th DECEMBER 2025 

Kneecap are a global phenomenon. Bursting out from a squat in Belfast, Móglaí Bap, Mo Chara, and DJ Próvaí are spearheading a moment in Irish culture, music, language, and cinema that has brought them to sensational levels. All it took was a generational talent to tear through conventions, expectations, and records. This is hip-hop at its most exciting – a potent and revolutionary force, smashing bans, barricades, and the occasional bottle of Buckfast.

Their fiercely intelligent breakthrough concept album, Fine Art (2024), was produced by Toddla T, and set across a raucous night out, traversing a fantasy pub called The Rutz, with adventures spilling out on to the streets of Belfast and London, during ketamine and cocaine binges gone wrong (and right), and featuring guest appearances from Lankum’s Radie Peat, Fontaines DC’s Grian Chatten and Tom Coll, alongside Jelani Blackman and Annie Mac.

Live, Kneecap continues to electrify festivals and venues around the world. A morning gig at Glastonbury’s Woodsies stage in the summer of 2024 filled the tent with thousands of fans, their festival appearance capped off with an epic late-night show at Shangri-La, where Noel Gallagher waited backstage to heap praise on the group. Their autumn US tour saw sold out gigs across multiple American cities. 2024 was capped off with a series of sold out shows across Ireland, including five consecutive dates at Vicar Street, yet another sold out run of gigs across England, Scotland and Wales, and a massive arena show in their hometown of Belfast sold out to 9,000 people.I

It was announced that Kneecap will play 3Arena Dublin on 17th December 2025.
Now a second date the 16th has been added Tickets for this extra date go on sale this Thursday 6th Feb at 10am from Ticketmaster.ie
