Belfast trio Kneecap play the Alhambra in Geneva on Thursday 26 November 2026. The concert, presented by Antigel, starts at 7.30 pm.
The story
Kneecap formed in Belfast in 2017. The group brings together Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí. They rap in Irish over hip-hop and rave beats. Their lyrics speak of Northern Irish youth and its desire for freedom.
In 2024, Rich Peppiatt’s film Kneecap told the story of the band’s beginnings. The three members play themselves. The film won the Audience Award in the NEXT section at the Sundance Film Festival. In February 2025, Rich Peppiatt won a BAFTA for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer.
