Kneecap are going bigger and getting better in 2025. The Irish rap trio will perform their largest headlining shows to date on a tour through North America later this year.
The trek will ceremoniously begin with Kneecap making their Coachella debut on April 11 and April 18. During the week in between, they will make quick stops in Denver and Salt Lake City. After this, the band will return in October with 15 shows in Louisville, Nashville, New York, Boston, Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Vancouver, Portland, San Fransisco, and more.
General sale for the October concerts begins Friday, Jan. 31 at 10 a.m. local time. Pre-sale began on Jan. 30 at 10 a.m. local time.
The tour follows the June 2024 release of the Belfast group’s debut album Fine Art, as well as their self-titled quasi-biopic that was released last year; in celebration of the tour announcement, Kneecap also shared a “2025 Mix” of their single “H.O.O.D.”
“We’ve been playing music for five years, so you’re at that point where you want to try something a bit new, or move on from something,” Kneecap’s Mo Chara told Rolling Stone last year. “We were maybe a bit too out there with the first songs we were writing. T was good at reeling us back in, like, ‘No, you’ve gotta simplify this for your first album. Introduce people to Kneecap’s world.’”
