Irish rap group Kneecap have pulled out of the TRNSMT music festival in Glasgow over police concerns about safety.
Police Scotland said last week that allowing the trio to perform at Glasgow Green in July would require “a significant policing operation”.
It followed a member of the Irish language group being charged with a terror offence after allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed organisation Hezbollah at a London gig.
The Belfast trio were also criticised over 2023 gig footage that appeared to show a band member saying: “The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP.”
