Kneecap press on with European tour despite Hungary ban and cancelled gigs

Rap trio will face intense scrutiny from French authorities when they play Rock en Seine festival on Sunday

The Belfast hip-hop trio Kneecap are ploughing ahead with their European tour despite a ban on entering Hungary, the cancellation of a string of concerts in Austria and Germany, and the intense scrutiny of authorities in France.

The Irish-language group will this Sunday play in front an expected 40,000 spectators at the Rock en Seine festival west of Paris, one of France's biggest live music events of the year, just days after one of their members appeared at a London court on a terrorism charge.
