Maybe it’s because half their raps are in Gaeilge or the BBC just didn’t check, but booking Kneecap and not expecting to hear something about governments and Palestine would be like booking NWA and cutting their mics if they played Fuck the Police.
Great job riling up the crowd for Vylan’s new chant there, genius move.
Lol they basically did that before. They booked Rage Against The Machine to play "Killing in the Name of" live. It has the line "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" and they asked RATM to censor it while they played. The BBC was then somehow surprised when RATM didn't do what they told them. source
i'm going to imagine him staring the BBC producer(s) dead in the eye as he sings it
The BBC isn't booking anyone they're just covering Glastonbury festival.
Thing is, afaik, the BBC has nothing to do with booking the artists. They just broadcast the sets and hold them on the iPlayer for a month after. Kneecap (and Bob Vylan) were booked by the Glastonbury organisers.
Brits are so fucking good at chants. Caught the quick rhythm and even the melody in just a bar.
Irish too. The band they cut short just before this has songs that are quite catchy and the theme is ACAB
Anyone got a video of the rest of this set? Searching for it just brings up page after page of genocide apologists getting upset over the warmup.
BBC nuked the footage after they got the call.
Someone uploaded it to WeTransfer if you've not found it elsewhere yet.
It's a great set. Big Bob spitting facts from top to bottom.
I can agree with that message
Israel is a murder machine.
I get knocked down... I get up again
