Irish band Kneecap will play a stripped back gig at Dundee LiveHouse.
Mo Chara, Moglai Bap, and DJ Provai perform primarily in Irish, with lyrics that explore working-class culture and Irish politics.
In a statement, the band said: “Inspired by, and proudly named ‘Fenian’, who were warriors in Irish folklore, and later a derogatory term for the Irish.
“After 800 years of colonisation, they thought the Irish language would die, it didn’t.
Kneecap joins a growing list of high-profile acts to perform at Live House, including Mumford & Sons, which announced a Dundee date earlier this month.
