Glastonbury organiser says ‘everyone is welcome’ after calls to drop Kneecap
- Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap's scheduled performance at Glastonbury Festival has generated controversy.
- Band member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh faces a terrorism charge for allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag at a London show last year.
- Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that Kneecap's performance would not be appropriate given the allegation.
- Glastonbury co-organiser Emily Eavis insisted that "everyone is welcome" at the festival when asked about Starmer's comments.
- Kneecap, who have publicly opposed Israel's military campaign in Gaza, are still scheduled to perform on Saturday.
