The Irish group performed at the Californian festival – which will see sets from the likes of Post Malone, Travis Scott, Missy Elliott, Charli XCX, Megan Thee Stallion and more over the weekend – last night (April 11), taking to the Sonora stage to kick-start the chant.

Taking aim at former British Prime Minister Thatcher, who they’ve previously labelled a “c*nt”, they said: “Here, if anybody was wondering, Margaret Thatcher’s still dead,” which drew a massive cheer from the crowd, who then sang along to “Maggie’s in a Box” to the tune of KC and the Sunshine Band’s ‘Give It Up’.

The trio, made up of Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap, and DJ Próvaí, are longstanding critics of the former Conservative leader and are well known for being outspoken politically, utilising their set to make several statements in support of Palestine and the six counties.
