If you want to avoid politics in music, don't watch or listen to political bands. Artists should stick to what they want to do and say - not play safe.
Kneecap are Irish republicans, and promote that ideology, as well as the furtherance of the Irish language, amongst other things. I'd be surprised if anyone in attendance were there for that.
