The Irish hip-hop trio are set to bring their huge live show to the stage for this year’s edition of the Eden Summer Sessions, performing on July 4.
With the set, members Móglaí Bap, Mo Chara, and DJ Próvaí will play their first-ever live show in Cornwall, and are going to be joined by The Streets’ Mike Skinner, who will be delivering a DJ set.
The announcement comes as the band have gone from strength to strength over the past two years – winning over fans with their huge debut album ‘Fine Art’ and sharing a critically acclaimed biopic that saw them nab BAFTA nominations and two Oscar nods.
It also comes following them storming some of the biggest stages across the world, including Glastonbury, Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show, and countless headline shows across the UK, Ireland, the US and Australia.
All Cornish heads…
We’re at @TheEdenSessions on July 4th with the legend @mikeskinnerltd as special guest

Announcing their addition to the 2025 bill, Eden Sessions’ Managing Director Rita Broe said: “Kneecap are one of the most talked about acts in the world right now. Their live shows are a force of nature – unfiltered, unpredictable and utterly electrifying. We’re thrilled to welcome both them and Mike Skinner to the Eden Sessions for the first time.”
For Skinner, the DJ set comes after he first got behind the decks over a decade ago, and has brought his solo live shows across the UK and Europe in recent years, showcasing a blend of high-energy grime and garage.

In other Kneecap news, the trio recently hit out at Israel for breaking the Gaza ceasefire in a “slaughter” against the “most vulnerable people on earth”.
They also discussed their support for Palestine last year in their their Cover feature for NME, where they made their stance against what they call Israel’s “occupation and genocide” of Gaza clear. Since then, they have helped raise nearly £100,000 for a volunteer gym in the Aida Refugee Camp in Palestine, and loudly broadcast their message via social media and high-profile TV appearances.
