Glastonbury Festival 2025



In the UK, Avon and Somerset Police are investigating the punk duo Bob Vylan after their performance at the Glastonbury Festival yesterday. Bobby Vylan, the group’s front man, led the crowd in a chant of “death, death to the IDF”, a reference to the Israel Defense Forces.

The police issued a statement on social media: “Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation.” Mo Chara, a member of the Irish rap group Kneecap, has been charged with a terrorism offence by the Metropolitan Police after appearing on stage draped in the Hezbollah flag at a gig last year.
