Kneecap have announced their biggest headline show to date, at Crystal Palace Park in London.

The concert is set to take place on Saturday, June 27th, 2026, with special guests including The Mary Wallopers, Fat Dog, Biig Piig, Gurriers and Madra Salach.

Presales start at 9am on Wednesday, November 26th, via www.kneecap.ie, with tickets going on general sale at 9am on Friday, November 28th, via Ticketmaster.co.uk.

The show is expected to be one of the largest gatherings in the 2026 London Irish calendar.

Kneecap described the show announcement as going "back to the belly of the beast".

"Our last wee venture into London was to beat the government in court... again. This time it'll be even better: 25,000 sound heads in a park together".

"We're delighted to have some of our best mates and best bands around to join us. This is one we can't wait for," the West Belfast and Derry trio said.

Kneecap are fresh off the back of a sold-out UK tour, and with their new single No Comment featuring Sub Focus, the band's movement continues to grow.

The Mary Wallopers are an Irish ballad group who started out travelling around the country singing and collecting songs. Their early live performances have been described as Dead Kennedys meets The Clancy Brothers.

Also joining the bill are genre-bending five-piece Fat Dog, modern pop purveyor Biig Piig, industrial post-punk outfit Gurriers and rising experimental folk band Madra Salach.
