Kneecap had the Coachella crowd rapping ‘as gaeilge’ as the Irish hip hop trio made a triumphant debut at the reknowned Californian music festival.
The lads played to a packed, exuberant audience in the Sonora tent on Friday night, some of whom wore Irish tricolour balaclavas similar to the one worn by Kneecap’s DJ Provaí.
Playing Coachella was yet another “milestone,” said DJ Provai, whose wooly headgear was ill-suited for California’s searing desert sun.
“Our poor little pasty Irish skin, we’re not built for this,” Mo Chara said.
While sipping aperol spritzes backstage the members of Kneecap joked to AFP that they’re mere “small city boys.”
