The feud began when Kneecap defended Chlöe Swarbrick’s remarks on the English language, asserting it’s not a threat. Peters fired back, telling them to “naff off back home” if they disagree with NZ First’s stance, even mocking them as “try-hard performers.” But Kneecap shrugged it off — they’re already in town, having been granted an exemption despite being labeled “excluded persons” due to past bans from countries like Hungary and Canada over alleged ties to political violence (which they deny). With one member previously charged in the UK for flying a Hezbollah flag, controversy follows them — yet they’re still set to headline two sold-out shows in Auckland and Wellington in February 2027.
