Festival organizers said they were 'appalled,' and that Bob Vylan's behaviour went against its mission of 'hope, unity, peace and love'

British police are reviewing video footage of rap punk duo Bob Vylan’s Glastonbury set after one of the artists led chants slammed by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer as “appalling hate speech.”

LONDON (AP) — Rap-punk duo Bob Vylan on Tuesday rejected claims of antisemitism over onstage comments at the Glastonbury Festival that triggered a police investigation and sparked criticism from politicians, the BBC and festival organizers. The band said in a statement that it was being “targeted for speaking up” about the war in Gaza.

British police are weighing an investigation after musicians Bob Vylan and Kneecap made anti-Israeli comments onstage at Glastonbury Festival.

Members of the British punk band Bob Vylan have had their U.S. visas revoked by the State Department after leading thousands of concert-goers in chanting “Death, death to the IDF” last weekend at the Glastonbury music festival in England.
