Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, also known as Mo Chara, faces charges related to the alleged display of a Hezbollah flag during a performance in Kentish Town. Following the charge, his band, Kneecap, stated that they would vigorously defend against what they describe as 'political policing.' They performed shortly after the announcement at the 100 Club in London, amid a significant demand for tickets. Police were present to ensure safety during the spontaneous concert, with no incidents reported, as the group continues their tour schedule.
O hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, has been charged over the alleged display of a flag in support of Hezbollah at a gig at the O2 Forum.
The group have said thousands of people are on a waiting list for tickets to the show which they also claim sold out 'in seconds'.
In a statement issued on Thursday morning the west Belfast group claimed the charge was 'political policing' adding that they would 'vehemently defend' themselves.
A Met spokesperson said a policing plan is in place around tonight's event to ensure it passes off safely, there have been no issues or arrests.
