Kneecap are among the line-up for next year's Coachella music festival alongside headline acts including Lady Gaga, Green Day and Post Malone.
Coachella takes place in the Colorado Desert in California over two three-day weekends in the spring. Next year's festival runs on 11-13 and 18-20 April.
Kneecap will perform at the festival on the Friday of both weekends.
Announcing the news on Instagram, the West Belfast hip-hop trio wrote: "Well well a Chairde Gael!
"We'll be seeing you in the desert @coachella."

Lady Gaga, Green Day and Post Malone will headline the 2025 edition of the music and arts festival, organizers said Wednesday, while Travis Scott will play a special guest slot.
Announcing her headline slot on Instagram, Lady Gaga wrote: "I have long dreamed of throwing a massive night of chaos in the desert. I've had a vision I’ve never been able to fully realize at Coachella for reasons beyond our control but I wanted to come through for music fans.
"I have been wanting to go back and to do it right, and I am. I'm headlining and starting the weekend off at Coachella. Can’t wait to hear you all singalong and dance dance DANCE till we drop."
Missy Elliott, Charli XCX and Megan Thee Stallion will also feature at the major event that kicks off the music festival circuit.
The line-up reveal came months earlier than usual, one day after Post Malone slipped in his own tour schedule release that he'd be playing concerts during the anticipated festival dates in Indio.
Scott's performance will come four years after he was slated to headline the 2020 festival, which was ultimately scrapped due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
South Africa's Tyla will perform at the 2025 edition after pulling out last year due to an injury.
Other acts of interest include famed conductor Gustavo Dudamel along with the LA Philharmonic, along with a return to the desert for Brazil's Anitta and electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk.
Last year's festival was headlined by Lana Del Rey, Doja Cat and Tyler, the Creator. It also featured a special reunion performance from No Doubt.
Taylor Swift was also an overwhelming presence at the grounds flanked by the San Jacinto Mountains in 2024 - although as a spectator, not a performer.
