HOLLYWOOD actor Jamie Dornan was seen backstage at Glastonbury partying with Irish rap group Kneecap as police investigate politically charged moments during their set and another by Bobby Vylan.
Kneecap’s Glastonbury appearance went ahead with a packed crowd despite calls for them to be dropped from the line-up.

They performed shortly after punk duo Bob Vylan also stirred controversy, with frontman Bobby Vylan shouting “Death, death, to the IDF” during a live-streamed BBC broadcast.
Avon and Somerset Police confirmed on X that they are reviewing footage from both sets: “We are aware of the comments made by acts on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury Festival this afternoon.
“Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation.”
The BBC declined to stream Kneecap’s performance live, citing editorial standards, though one audience member live streamed it in full on TikTok.
The band also led anti-Keir Starmer chants after he called for them to be axed from the Glastonbury line-up.
However, many fans waved pro-Palestinian banners and wore themed face paint in support.
The West Holts stage was temporarily closed due to fears of overcrowding, with festival organisers issuing a “no access” warning shortly before Kneecap’s 4pm performance.
The decision not to broadcast the set live follows mounting political pressure.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer had previously called for the Irish group to be banned from the festival altogether.
The controversy was further fuelled by footage of rapper JJ Ó Dochartaigh (Móglaí Bap) wearing a T-shirt referencing Palestine Action — a group the UK government has discussed banning as a terrorist organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000 after they spray painted RAF planes red.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has the authority to proscribe organisations she deems “concerned in terrorism.”
In a separate case, Kneecap frontman Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh (Mo Chara) was charged under the Terrorism Act last month.
He allegedly displayed a Hezbollah flag and shouted “up Hamas, up Hezbollah” during a November 2023 gig in Kentish Town, London.
