Editor’s Note: Kneecap’s Glastonbury moment isn’t just about music—it’s a flashpoint in the ongoing clash between art, free expression, and political criticism. Their unapologetic stance resonates with fans who see them as challengers of the status quo, while their critics view them as provocateurs. For a festival like Glastonbury, which prides itself on radical roots, this is exactly the kind of act that keeps its spirit alive.
