2024 has been a successful year for the rappers who have grown in popularity all over the world following the release of their second studio album Fine Art in June and their award-winning film KNEECAP in August.
Inspired by the true story of the group’s formation and their mission to ‘change the sound of Irish music forever,’ the band made their acting debuts alongside Academy Award nominated Michael Fassbender.
The comedy drama was nominated for 14 awards at the British Independent Film Awards (BIFA) including Best Screenplay, Best Director for Rich Peppiatt and joint lead performances for Kneecap trio Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvai.
It has also been chosen as Ireland’s official entry for Best International Feature Film at the upcoming 97th annual Academy Awards and has been called a strong contender to make it into the final shortlist.
Presale tickets for Coachella will be released on November 22.
