Police launch criminal investigation into Bob Vylan and Kneecap Glastonbury sets
Published: 6/30/2025

Avon and Somerset Police have launched a criminal investigation into Bob Vylan and Kneecap's Glastonbury sets after controversial comments made during their performances. The Culture Secretary called the scenes "appalling and unacceptable," leading to questions about the BBC's coverage of the event. Bob Vylan's singer led a chant of "death to the IDF," drawing criticism for alleged antisemitism, resulting in their US visas being revoked. Kneecap's pro-Palestinian remarks are also under investigation, as both acts face scrutiny for their political comments.
