Kneecap have today shared a pair of remixes for their recent rave-ready Paul Hartnoll assisted classic ‘Sayōnara.’
Genius DJ/producer SHERELLE delivers an absolutely fierce remix which takes the full vocal from the band’s original and stretches it across a punishing, fully pumped-up drum track and melting acid riff, taking the track back from moments in festival fields and leading it into strobe lit nightclubs the world over.
It’s an honour to remix for Kneecap and this was really fun for me to do. I saw the boys at Primavera and instantly felt their energy throughout so it really inspired me for the remix. Big up to the boys for getting me involved, I am very much in awe of what they are doing at the moment and I love when people stand on business!
– SHERELLE –
Acclaimed producer Wallace creates a hefty bass driven house track that loops slices of Mo Chara and Móglaí Bap’s vocals before creating a demonic vocoder’d breakdown that explodes into a glorious peak of solar energy for the dancefloor.

After facing a barrage of criticism and subsequently finding themselves in the middle of a media and political maelstrom for vocally advocating for peace and Palestinian freedom at this year’s Coachella, their Wide Awake show felt a massively significant moment – lauded by the Guardian, the Telegraph, Pitchfork, the Irish Times, the London Standard, and described by The Times as a “historic moment… Exciting, funny and anarchic, with a rebellious edge that has not been seen in rock or rap for years” the trio subsequently announced their biggest London show to date at the 12,500 capacity Wembley Arena on Thursday 18th September 2025.
This summer also sees them join forces with Fontaines D.C. for a series of massive summer outdoor shows across the UK and Ireland, head back to the studio to record the follow-up to Fine Art and perform at a number of huge festival dates around Europe, including a highly anticipated return to Glastonbury and Green Man later in the summer. They will also perform a massive outdoor show in Dublin, as well as two December concerts at Dublin’s 3Arena, the largest indoor arena on the island of Ireland.
Whether they’re rolling up to Sundance in a police Land Rover, encouraging tens of thousands of young people to learn Irish, breaking box office records, storming festivals with epic main stage sets, annoying right-wing politicians the world over, or earning support and solidarity from the likes of Annie Mac, Noel Gallagher, Elton John, Amyl & The Sniffers, Paul Weller, Primal Scream, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Massive Attack, on banners in football stadiums, or in graffiti on city walls around the world, Kneecap’s message and mode of unity, community, collective action and the power of raving, punk, and rap, is all underscored with a revolutionary sound, and blistering live performances that have built a global wave of fans unified in the joy of solidarity and the shared sweat that flings from fine art like no other.
