BBC won't show 'high risk' music acts after Vylan row
The Independent
|July 04, 2025
The BBC has said it will no longer broadcast performances deemed “high risk” live after controversy over punk rap duo Bob Vylan’s appearance at Glastonbury.
In a statement issued yesterday, the corporation apologised for the group’s “deplorable behaviour” after frontman Bobby Vylan, whose real name is reportedly Pascal Robinson-Foster, 34, led crowds in chants of “death, death to the IDF (Israel Defense Forces)” during their set on Saturday afternoon.
The BBC admitted it had assessed the act as “high risk” before Glastonbury but deemed them suitable for live-streaming.
The broadcaster said this was “clearly not the case”, and added it was changing its procedures around live music events meaning any music performances deemed high risk will now not be broadcast live or streamed live.
