Overview
- Kneecap unveiled the title track 'Fenian' with a Thomas James–directed video filmed in West Belfast that spotlights DJ Provai’s tricolour balaclava.
- The full album, also titled Fenian, is scheduled for May 1 on Heavenly Recordings after earlier singles 'Smugglers & Scholars' and 'Liars Tale', the latter targeting UK Labour leader Keir Starmer.
- The group says the project reclaims the word 'Fenian'—once used as a slur and rooted in 19th‑century Irish revolutionaries—as a statement of brotherhood and post‑colonial pride.
- Recent public activity includes a performance in Havana after joining the Nuestra América Convoy with Jeremy Corbyn, alongside a pledge that they oppose all forms of discrimination, including anti‑Semitism.
- A large summer run follows, with a headline date at Crystal Palace Park in London and festival slots at Primavera, Open’er, Roskilde, and Reading & Leeds.
