The London punk-rap duo also lost their U.S. visas and representation with United Talent Agency following their politically charged West Holts Stage appearance, where frontman Bobby Vylan led the crowd in chants of “Free, free Palestine” and “Death to the IDF.”

BBC director-general Tim Davie has said punk duo Bob Vylan was deemed ‘high risk’ before their controversial Glastonbury 2025 set was livestreamed. Bob Vylan’s performance was livestreamed on the BBC last week and ended in chants including ‘death, death to the IDF [ Israeli Defence Force]’ alongside various pro-Palestine slogans.

The Glastonbury Festival is making headlines for controversy rather than music. Little-known rap-punk duo Bob Vylan have drawn politicians’ ire and a police probe after leading a chant calling for “death” to the Israeli military.
