Controversial Irish band Kneecap performed at Glastonbury 2025 despite calls from British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for their removal. Their performance included criticism of Starmer and Rod Stewart. The band's member, Mo Chara, recently faced terror charges stemming from an alleged Hezbollah flag display. Despite the controversy and police safety concerns at other festivals, Glastonbury organizers kept Kneecap on the lineup, and the band thanked them. The performance was not live-streamed on the BBC initially but was later promised for online viewing.
