Following their road-block Glastonbury appearance, the most talked about and debated slot at the festival in years, Irish rap trio KNEECAP have today shared the video for ‘THE RECAP’ FT. MOZEY.’

Released initially via their WhatsApp group in late May, and out on DSPs just before they hit the stage at Glastonbury, the track has been causing a stir with the official release clocking in 1 million streams in its first week.


Talking about the video, director Finn Keenan said:


“It took a lot of incredibly talented and passionate people to come together to make this video in just over a week. And I can’t believe the trust and support we got from Kneecap and their team. A once in a lifetime kind of job. So grateful to each and every one of yiz. More Blacks, More Dogs, More Irish, Mo Chara.”

“Taking some of the king’s stash of cash is better than taking drugs.”

“As if Kneecap wasn’t rowdy enough I decided to stick them on a drum and bass track…energy overload!”

“Capturing a mix of heavy drum & bass and blistering post-punk as they join forces with bassline artist Mozey, and criticise Badenoch in the lyrics.”

– NME –

“In it, they address those who wish to silence them, arrest them, and have them banned from the stage, including Conservative party leader Kemi Badenoch.”

– Brooklyn Vegan –

“Fiery”

– Consequence Of Sound –

“That message echoes through ‘The Recap’ — not just defiance, but a full-throated refusal to let politicians dictate what art is allowed to say.”

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.
