Three more concerts by the band Kneecap are no longer going ahead in Germany.

It comes after news that footage of the band allegedly calling for MPs to be killed is being assessed by counter-terrorism police.

A ticket site for the gigs in Hamburg, Berlin and Cologne states that the events have been cancelled.

A number of politicians have been calling for the band to be uninvited from some UK gigs, with Tory MP Mark Francois saying the group should not be allowed to play Glastonbury in light of the ongoing police investigation.

Scheduled appearances at Hurricane and Southside festivals, also in Germany, were cancelled last week.

A gig at the Eden Project in Cornwall has also been cancelled.

On Tuesday, an Eden Sessions Limited spokesperson said: “Ticket purchasers will be contacted directly and will be fully refunded.”

Speaking on RTÉ’s Prime Time on Tuesday, the band’s manager said “moral hysteria” had taken hold and that the band are being held to a higher moral standard than politicians.

Daniel Lambert claimed a “concerted campaign” against the group is “solely about de-platforming artists”.

“It’s about telling the next young band both through the music industry and through the political class that you cannot speak about Palestine,” he said.

On having gigs cancelled, he said: “It’s not for us to worry, it’s for us to have the strength of conviction that we did the right thing.”

He added that going to Coachella was the right thing to do, and “all of this has emerged from that”.

The band are set to support Fontaines DC at Boucher Playing Fields, Belfast, in August.

On the Nolan Show, councillor Jim Rodgers said “serious consideration should be given” on whether the concert should go ahead.

“I’ve already spoken to some of the council officers and I’m hoping that the necessary action will be taken. We have to lead by example,” he said.

“We can’t allow people to go on our land and do whatever they like.

“We would be sending out the wrong message if we were to allow this group to go ahead with their event.”

Last week, a video emerged of the west Belfast trio at a November 2023 gig appearing to show one person from the band saying: “The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP.”

The daughter of the Conservative MP David Amess whose father was stabbed to death at a constituency surgery called for Kneecap to apologise.

In a statement on X, the band said that “an extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action”.

They also called some of the backlash a “smear campaign” and said it was: “a transparent effort to derail the real conversation” away from their messages of “love” and support for Palestine.

They added: “To the Amess and Cox families, we send our heartfelt apologies, we never intended to cause you hurt.”

On Tuesday, the husband of murdered MP Jo Cox called on Kneecap to give a “real apology”.

Brendan Cox, whose wife was killed in June 2016, said this was “only half an apology”.

TV personality Sharon Osbourne called for the band’s US work visas to be revoked after their performance at the Coachella music festival in California earlier this month, where they described Israel’s military action in Gaza as a US-funded genocide.

Kneecap are an Irish-speaking rap trio who have courted controversy with their provocative lyrics and merchandise.

The group was formed in 2017 by three friends who go by the stage names of Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí.

Their rise to fame inspired a semi-fictionalised film starring Oscar-nominated actor Michael Fassbender.

The film won a British Academy of Film Award (Bafta) in February 2025.
