Northern Irish hip-hop group Kneecap condemned the "coordinated smear campaign" against them on Friday following their pro-Palestine performance at Coachella 2025. Their statement came in response to some members of the public calling for their United States visas to be revoked.

On social media, Sharon Osbourne lambasted Coachella for compromising its “moral and spiritual integrity” and the band for “incorporating aggressive political statements” into their act. She concluded her lengthy missive (in which she accused the band of “openly [supporting] terrorist organizations”) by urging her followers “to join me in advocating for the revocation of Kneecap’s work visa.

After blowback for their "F--k Israel" graphics, the Northern Irish group said they've spoke about Palestine at every gig since their formation.
