SCOTTISH Tory MSPs have urged TRNSMT festival to drop Kneecap from its line-up.
It comes after a clip emerged of the trio performing in 2023, with a member of the group allegedly saying “kill your local MP” and “the only good Tory is a dead Tory".
It followed the murders of Tory MSP Sir David Amess and Labour's Jo Cox.
The trio are set to perform at the Glasgow Green festival on Friday, July 11.
However, Stephen Kerr, Central Scotland Tory MSP called for the pro-Palestine group to be banned from the upcoming summer event, as reported in The Scottish Sun.
Kerr added: “Glorifying the murder of elected representatives is not ‘edgy’ or ‘rebellious’.
“It is criminal incitement to violence. Sir David Amess and Jo Cox were murdered for doing their jobs.
“No civilised society can tolerate this kind of poison.
"Yet unbelievably, the organisers in Glasgow still intend to give these extremists a global platform. They should immediately reconsider.”
Similarly, MSP Annie Wells (above) said: “Tensions already run high over the nature and many of their lyrics and political messaging.
“The last thing we need is an incident kicking off in response to their views.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We have been working closely with partners over several months to maximise the safety of everyone who is attending TRNSMT and will continue to work with them throughout the event.
“An appropriate policing plan is in place to support the event.”
TRNSMT organisers DF Concerts and Kneecap's management have been contacted for comment.
