Musically, Kneecap delivered a high-energy show, blending Irish-language rhymes with intense beats and provocative lyrics. Despite the weight of recent events, the band maintained a sense of humor and fun throughout the performance.

Kneecap's show reflected their political stance, with songs like "The Recap" ending the night with a bold statement against the British government. The band's performance showcased their commitment to their cause, intertwining politics with their music in a powerful and unapologetic manner.
