Kneecap reveal a new album is on the way in 2026

January 6, 2026 – Radio 854 Music News:

Irish rap trio Kneecap have confirmed that a brand-new album is officially on the way, with a release planned for 2026. The Belfast group — made up of Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí — shared the news with fans, sparking excitement about the next chapter in their boundary-pushing career.

Following the success of their previous releases and their growing international profile, Kneecap say they are already deep into the creative process. While full details remain under wraps, the group has hinted that the upcoming record will continue their trademark mix of sharp political commentary, raw storytelling and unapologetic Irish-language rap.

The announcement comes at a high point for Kneecap, who have spent recent years building a reputation not just as musicians, but as cultural disruptors. Their fearless approach to language, identity and social issues has earned them a devoted fanbase well beyond Ireland, with sold-out shows and festival appearances across Europe and beyond.

Although no tracklist or release date has been revealed yet, Kneecap have promised more updates in the coming months. If their past work is anything to go by, fans can expect a bold, confrontational and energetic album that stays true to the group’s roots — while pushing their sound even further.
