Bob Vylan issues statement after being dropped from festival lineups
- Punk duo Bob Vylan led the Glastonbury crowd in chants of 'Free, free Palestine' and 'Death, death to the IDF' during their set on June 28.
- Following the performance, Bob Vylan was removed from the lineups of multiple European festivals, including Radar Festival in Manchester and Kave Fest in France.
- The band was also reportedly dropped by their agent, United Talent Agency, and had their US visas revoked by American officials.
- Glastonbury organisers said they were “appalled” by the chants, while the BBC later said it “should have pulled” the live coverage of the performance.
- Bob Vylan responded on Instagram by claiming they are being “targeted for speaking up” and that the controversy is a “distraction” from the issue of a “violent military machine”.
