The outspoken punk rap duo led chants of “death, death to the IDF”, referring to the Israel Defense Forces, at the festival in June. The chant was condemned by Glastonbury and Keir Starmer, who described it as “appalling hate speech”. Bob Vylan were dropped by their agency, UTA, and the US state department revoked their visas, forcing them to cancel a North America tour.
