British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has expressed his disapproval of Irish trio Kneecap’s upcoming performance at Glastonbury festival, citing concerns over terrorism and extremist ideologies. The band has faced criticism for their pro-Palestine stance, including a recent onstage incident where one of its members displayed a Hezbollah flag and made anti-Tory remarks. Several UK politicians have called for the trio to be removed from future festival lineups due to safety concerns. Starmer stated that allowing Kneecap to perform at Glastonbury would not be “appropriate” and expressed need for clear condemnation of extremist threats.
