Irish rap trio Kneecap's headline set at London’s Wide Awake festival is to go ahead as planned after a number of the band’s concerts were cancelled by organisers.

The group has seen gigs including a performance at the Eden Project in Cornwall on July 4 cancelled after historic concert footage appeared to show a member of the group shouting “up Hamas, up Hezbollah”, and another video allegedly showing one calling for Conservative MPs to be killed.
