Irish rap group Kneecap canceled their 15-date US tour in October due to a band member's upcoming court hearing in London. The hearing concerns charges of displaying a Hezbollah flag at a previous concert, which the band denies. While disappointed, Kneecap plans a larger future tour and promises a special announcement for US fans next week. The cancellation follows controversy at Coachella over their statements criticizing the Israeli government's actions in Gaza, leading to accusations of antisemitism, which the band refutes.
