Kneecap gained attention at Primavera Sound 2026 when Fontaines D.C.'s Grian Chatten joined them on stage for a performance featuring a cover of The Cure. The group also released a remix of 'Smugglers & Scholars' with Killer Mike, while facing competition for the UK number one album spot, ultimately losing to Michael Jackson.
