Belfast rap group Kneecap delivered a highly-charged Glastonbury performance, defying UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's disapproval of their appearance. The band, whose rapper Mo Chara faces terrorism charges for allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag, used the stage to denounce the charges as a 'trumped-up' case and voiced support for Palestine. Their set, drawing a massive crowd, included chants against Starmer and support for Palestine Action, despite the UK government's intent to proscribe the group. Glastonbury organizers, while facing criticism, defended the band's inclusion.
