Irish-language rap group Kneecap performed to tens of thousands of people Saturday at England’s Glastonbury Festival despite criticism by British politicians and a terror charge for one of the trio. Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, has been charged under the Terrorism Act with supporting a proscribed organization on suspicion of waving a Hezbollah flag at a concert in London in November. The rapper, who was charged under the anglicized version of his name, Liam O’Hanna, is free on unconditional bail before a court hearing in August, the AP reports.
«Glastonbury, I’m a free man!» Ó hAnnaidh shouted as Kneecap took the stage at Glastonbury’s West Holts field, which holds about 30,000 people.
