Kneecap Announce Huge UK, European And World Tour

The Belfast trio will hit the road later this year for a huge run of headline dates, including shows in Manchester, Glasgow, Bristol and Dublin.

Kneecap have announced a huge run of UK, European and international headline shows for later this year, continuing an already massive 2026 for the Belfast trio.

The tour kicks off in Latin America in October, with shows in Mexico City, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Santiago and São Paulo, before heading to Europe throughout November. The band will then return to the UK for a run of headline dates beginning at Southampton Guildhall on November 28.

The UK leg includes stops in Bristol, Wolverhampton, Manchester, Newcastle, Hull, Swansea, Glasgow, Liverpool, Bradford and Nottingham, before Kneecap return to Dublin for a pre-Christmas headline show at the 3Arena on December 16.

The announcement follows the release of Kneecap’s latest album, FENIAN, which arrived via Heavenly Recordings in May. Produced by Dan Carey, the record reached number one in Ireland and number two in the UK and features the singles ‘FENIAN’, ‘Liars Tale’ and ‘Irish Goodbye’, the latter featuring Kae Tempest.

Kneecap have spent much of the summer on the festival circuit, appearing at Primavera, Roskilde, Boomtown and Reading and Leeds, following a huge headline performance at London’s Crystal Palace Park in June in front of more than 20,000 people.

Following the UK and European dates, the trio will head to New Zealand in February 2027, with shows currently announced for Auckland and Wellington.
