Kneecap, a politically charged hip-hop group from West Belfast, delivered a provocative set at Coachella that included chants against former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and support for Palestine. However, the band's concerns about censorship arose when their livestream cut out precisely during significant political statements, limiting their message about U.S.-backed actions in Gaza. Kneecap's performance, a blend of humor and political commentary, sparked discussions about the role of censorship in live broadcasts and the importance of artist expression at major festivals.
As reported by NME, the official Coachella livestream cut out shortly after the group led a chant about former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
Kneecap's members highlighted that their messages on U.S.-backed genocide in Gaza were also omitted from the livestream, raising censorship concerns.
