Kneecap suggested as ‘secret set' to replace Bob Vylan at Manchester festival
Bob Vylan's performance at Radar festival in Manchester was cancelled after singer Bobby Vylan, whose real name is reportedly Pascal Robinson-Foster, 34, led crowds in chants of 'death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)' during their Saturday afternoon set at Glastonbury. Speaking on the 2 Promoters, 1 Pod podcast, Radar organiser Catherine Jackson-Smith said the festival was 'forced into a position' they did not want to take in dropping the band from their upcoming headline slot this Saturday. On acts that could replace Bob Vylan, Ms Jackson-Smith said her colleague Joe had suggested a Kneecap 'secret set' in order to 'make a statement'. 'You can say nothing publicly but if you go and book, and as I did mention, Joe's first response was, 'What if we did Kneecap as a secret set?' because that makes a statement, and it makes a statement without having to make a statement and that is what we wanted to do so we are going through options,' she said. 'We might end up with somebody that has no discernible political opinion in any manner at this point because if they're free and they could play on Saturday, maybe that is the criteria that we're looking for at this stage.' Irish rap trio Kneecap, whose member Liam Og O hAnnaidh, also known as Mo Chara, appeared in court in June charged with a terror offence, performed on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury after Bob Vylan. As of Friday afternoon, Radar has not announced a replacement for Bob Vylan and the festival's website lists the Saturday line up as 'headliner TBA (to be announced)'. Of the conversation Radar organisers had with Bob Vylan, Ms Jackson-Smith said it was 'one of the most horrendous professional discussions' she has ever had. 'I cannot express clearly enough that I wanted Bob Vylan to perform at our festival,' she said. 'Bob Vylan know that we wanted to book them. Why else would we have booked them?' she added. 'And Bob Vylan also know that we didn't want to pull them, because we tried our hardest not to do that… but ultimately, it still ends at the same point the headlines will be 'Radar festival pulled Bob Vylan'.' Bob Vylan issued a statement on Tuesday claiming they were being 'targeted for speaking up'. It has emerged that Bob Vylan were already under investigation by police for comments made at a performance one month before Glastonbury. Video footage appears to show Bobby Vylan at Alexandra Palace telling crowds: 'Death to every single IDF soldier out there as an agent of terror for Israel. Death to the IDF.' The duo have had their US visas revoked before their tour later this year and have been pulled from an upcoming performance at a German music festival, following their appearance at Glastonbury. They are currently expected to perform at the Boardmasters surfing and music festival in Newquay, Cornwall, in August. The group was formed in Ipswich in 2017, and are known for addressing political issues in their albums including racism, masculinity and class.

Cyclist caught riding 'no-handed' fumes at City of London police officer
A barrister accused of cycling no-handed through central London told police they should be catching 'robbers' instead of fining him. Paul Powlesland posted a video of the encounter with the City of London officer after he was accused of 'careless and inconsiderate cycling'. In the clip, she said he was riding with 'his arms stretched out wide and off the handlebars during rush hour' on March 5. He then approached the officer on April 2 in Queen Victoria Street and filmed the video, before posting the footage on Thursday. In the clip, the barrister slammed the officer's decision, claiming that riding no-handed was not an offence. He said: 'So anyone cycling no-handed in rush hour is going to get ticketed?' The officer replied: 'If I see them, yes.' Paul then accused the officer of wasting police resources and claimed bike theft was 'endemic', adding: 'You don't even investigate most bike theft. There's phone snatching going on – you could be getting robbers. 'You're letting phone snatchers and bike thieves go to ticket law-abiding citizens cycling no-handed. 'Do you honestly think that's a good use of City of London Police time?' The officer said: 'Cycling with no hands on the handlebars places others at risk and contravenes Article 2 of the Human Rights Act,' adding: 'It endangers people on the road.' In a post on X Mr Powlesland insisted he was in the right.. 'I recently got stopped & ticketed by the City of London Police for, & I kid you not, 'cycling no handed',' he wrote. 'Even though it's clearly not an offence, the officer said they were ticketing me under the Human Rights Act as I was infringing other people's Article 2 'Right to Life', in case I fell off & injured them: utterly bonkers stuff.' A spokesperson for City of London Police told Metro that during the 'small clip of a longer interaction…the Human Rights Act was mentioned' but that Paul was penalised under Section 29 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, for 'careless and inconsiderate cycling'. They said that a ticket was processed on May 19, adding: 'Should the cyclist contest the ticket, officers will attend court and present any relevant evidence that we have obtained.' More Trending Metro has approached Paul Powlesland for comment. The City of London has launched a crackdown on cyclists skipping red lights – which they do at a rate ten times more than motorists. Since the beginning of 2025, 284 cyclists in the Square Mile have been fined for failing to stop at traffic lights, compared to just 25 motorists penalised for the same offence. Meanwhile, analysis from the Clean Cities Campaign shows that on average, 20,000 bikes are reported stolen every year across London at a rate of over 50 every day.
