“Nick is responsible for booking the Pyramid Stage. Kneecap appeared on The West Holts Stage, which is booked independently by an entirely separate team.
“We also emphatically refute any suggestion that Kneecap - a band with significant prominence who recently headlined London’s Wide Awake Festival and who have an upcoming show at Wembley Arena - were given a slot in any way out of keeping with their current success and stature. They appeared during the mid-afternoon slot on Glastonbury’s third largest stage.”
On Sunday The Met Police said they will not be pressing charges on Kneecap over the comments about murdering MPs, due to the statutory prosecution time elapsing since the incident in November 2023.
