UK Band Chants ‘Death to IDF’ at Glastonbury

“We are aware of the comments made by acts on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury Festival this afternoon,” reads a social media post from Avon and Somerset police.

“Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation,” the post added.

BBC, which broadcasts the three-day festival, announced it will not be replaying Bob Vylan’s “deeply offensive” set.

A spokesperson for Lisa Nandy, England’s Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, said she “strongly” condemns the “threatening comments made by Bob Vylan at Glastonbury.”

Nandy’s office wants “an urgent explanation” from the BBC regarding what sort of “due diligence it carried out ahead of the Bob Vylan performance.”

In a statement, the BBC acknowledged “Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan’s set were deeply offensive.”

“During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language,” the BBC added.
