Kneecap Glasgow Hydro Stage Times: Set times, support, tickets, setlist, age restrictions, afterparty
The controversial Irish rappers are playing their biggest Scottish show to date.
They may have been dropped from the bill at the TRNSMT music festival earlier this year, but Kneecap are back in the city this weekend.
The trio, comprised of Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí, released their first single in 2017, with their debut album 3CAG following a year later.
But they didn’t achieve widespread fame until last year, with the release of second album Fine Art and a hugely-successful semi-biographical film starring the three rappers - which won a BAFTA for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director, or Producer.
In May band member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was charged with a terror offence after allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah during a performance in November 2024.
Police then raised concerns about their appearance at TRNSMT potentially leading to disorder - leading to them being dropped from the bill.
But the band went on to play a triumphant set at Glastonbury, sold out Glasgow’s O2 Academy just three days before they were mean to play Glasgow Green, then the case against Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was dismissed in September 2025 due to a technical error in the way the charge was filed .
They are now in the middle of a huge UK arena tour - including a date in Scotland.
Here’s everything you need to know if you are going along.
When are Kneecap playing Glasgow?
The band will be playing Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on Sunday, November 30. Doors will be at 6.30pm.
Who is supporting Kneecap at their Glasgow Hydro gig?
No support has been officially announced yet but with Irish ‘rant-hop’ duo Dirty Faces playing the official afterparty we reckon it’s pretty likely they’ll make an appearance - as they did at the 02 Academy show earlier this year.
What are the stage times for Kneecap in Glasgow?
It’s doors at 6.30pm and no other stage times have been released. Having said that, judging by similar gigs at the venue, expect the support to be on from around 7.30pm, Kneecap to take to the stage at around 9pm and for the show to finish by 11pm at the latest.
Is there an afterparty for Kneecap?
If you’re still not ready to go home there’s an official afterparty at the Garage from 11pm-3am featuring DJ sets from DJ Provai, Moglai Bap and FINNfm, along with a live performance from Dirty Faces. You can still bag tickets, priced at £22.60, here.
Are tickets still available for Kneecap at the Hydro?
If you've decided at the last minute that you'd like to go to the gig then you’re in luck - there are still tickets available, priced from £53.60, here.
Are there any age restrictions Kneecap at the Glasgow Hydro?
It’s over 16s only at the Kneecap gig.
