Ed Sheeran spotted in Dublin at sold-out Kneecap gig

The hip-hop trio are playing five nights in Dublin's city centre.

This was English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, who can be seen in videos from the second night of the trio's run of gigs.

In the clips, Sheeran is shown in the sitting section of Vicar Street.

This is as he enjoys a pint of stout and chants along to the chorus of the Belfast-based hip-hop band's first single first single 'C.E.A.R.T.A.' (which means 'Rights' in Irish').

Kneecap's five nights of concerts at the iconic Dublin venue are continuing over the next three days from 30 October to 1 November.

The gigs come hot on the heels of their self-titled movie - which JOE previously dubbed "one of the best films of 2024" - breaking cinema records in Ireland and winning critical acclaim across the globe.

It was even chosen as Ireland’s official submission for next year’s Oscars.

Coming to Prime Video on 15 November, the Sundance award-winning movie is described as a "semi fictionalised" take on Kneecap's origin story in which the bandmates play themselves.

It details how they came together to not only become the first major Irish language rap group, but also unconventional activists for Irish language rights in Northern Ireland.
