Irish rap group Kneecap allege a ban on selling certain merchandise at their upcoming SSE Arena show, prompting a pop-up stall at a Belfast City Centre location.
Irish language rap group Kneecap claim they have been banned from selling certain merchandise at their SSE Arena show this weekend. The group issued a statement on social media about the alleged ban, saying they will sell the 'banned merchandise' at a pop-up stall at the Telegraph building in Belfast City Centre.
They said on Twitter/X: 'The RUC have 'banned' us from selling some of our merch at the venue so we will have a pop-up merch spot at the Telegraph building that day selling the burning landrover T-shirts and Bally’s (full details to follow).' However, the PSNI told Belfast Live the issue has 'had no policing involvement and is taking place at a private venue'. The SSE Arena said 'no comment' when asked if it had taken the decision to ban some of the merchandise being sold at the show on Saturday, December 21. Kneecap are among a host of talent from the island to be shortlisted for the Oscars next year. The film Kneecap has been shortlisted in the best international feature film category and for best original song for Sick In The Head. The comedy movie, which also stars actor Michael Fassbender, follows the Belfast group on their mission to save their mother tongue through music, and is directed by Rich Peppiatt
