- Bobby Vylan, half of the punk rap duo Bob Vylan, led a controversial chant of "death, death to the IDF" during their performance at Glastonbury Festival on Saturday, June 28.
- Glastonbury organisers condemned the chants as "appalling" and crossing a line, stating there is no place for antisemitism, hate speech, or incitement to violence at the festival.
- Following the performance, Bobby Vylan issued a statement on Instagram, asserting that he stood by his comments and called for a "change in foreign policy."
- Police are currently assessing footage of comments made by both Bob Vylan and another band, Kneecap, who also performed politically charged chants, to determine if any offenses were committed.
- Keir Starmer also condemned the performances by both bands and demanded an explanation from the BBC regarding the live broadcast of the "appalling" chants.
