Kneecap play free show on Melbourne streets for fans who couldn't get tickets
The free gig was in Fed Square in Melbourne before the the paid for concert
Hugely popular Irish hip-hop group Kneecap, played a free gig in Melbourne, before their live show for fans who missed out on tickets.
The group played the 30 minute set in Fed Square, on what is a public holiday, in Oz.
A social media post about the pop-up show went out a few days before the actual event reading:
"After selling out shows across Australia, Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap is hitting Fed Square for a free pop-up gig this Labour Day public holiday.
Catch them live for a 30 minute set - a rare chance to see them in action without a ticket, and the perfect way to wrap up your long weekend."
Comments under the screenshot on the Kneecap Reddit page read:
"This gig will be mental - it's such good form that they are putting this on.
I missed out on the ticketed shows and have had little luck getting re-sell tickets for any of the shows in Aus."
Another reads:
"I missed tickets to their three Melbourne gigs. This gives me a chance to finally rock my tricolour balaclava."
What good gesture by the group and the show(judging by social media stories) was in fact mental.
