UK punk band blasted for ‘Death to IDF' chant during Glastonbury festival set as police investigate
Another UK band has come under fire for its 'threatening' comments against Israel's ongoing war in Gaza — stirring up a frenzy at a music festival Saturday. English-based punk duo Bob Vylan whipped the crowd at England's annual Glastonbury Music Festival into a furor, and led the massive audience in gang chants of 'Free, free Palestine' and 'Death, death to the IDF' in referencing the Israeli Defense Forces. Police are said to be investigating the band's performance, Deadline reported. Advertisement 4 Bob Vylan performed Saturday at the Glastonbury Music Festival. WireImage Cops are going over video of the band's set to see if the group chants involved any criminality. '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.

Irish outfit Kneecap got in trouble during a London show when singer Mo Chara shouted out Hamas and Hezbollah — 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah' — and allegedly raised the Hezbollah flag, leading to his arrest under the Terrorism Act.

AFP via Getty Images 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.'

'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. Hamas killed 1,200 unsuspecting Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023, and took another 250 hostage in brutal fashion. Some 50 Israeli hostages remain captive in Gaza, fewer than half of them are believed to still be alive.

Pro-Palestinian Irish rap group plays for big U.K. crowd despite criticism, terrorism charge
PILTON, England — Irish-language rap group Kneecap gave an impassioned performance for tens of thousands of fans on Saturday at the Glastonbury Festival despite criticism by British politicians and a terrorism charge against one of the trio. Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, has been charged under the Terrorism Act with supporting a proscribed organization for allegedly waving a Hezbollah flag at a concert in London in November. The rapper, who was charged under the anglicized version of his name, Liam O'Hanna, is on unconditional bail before a further court hearing in August. 'Glastonbury, I'm a free man!' O hAnnaidh shouted as Kneecap took the stage at Glastonbury's West Holts field, which holds about 30,000 people. Dozens of Palestinian flags flew in the capacity crowd as the show opened with an audio montage of news clips referring to the band's critics and legal woes. Between high-energy numbers that had fans forming a large mosh pit, the band members led the audience in chants of 'Free Palestine' and 'Free Mo Chara.' They also aimed an expletive-laden chant at U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who has said he didn't think it was 'appropriate' for Kneecap to play Glastonbury. The trio thanked festival organizers Michael and Emily Eavis for resisting pressure to cancel Kneecap's gig and gave a shout-out to Palestine Action, a protest group that the British government plans to ban under terrorism laws after its members vandalized planes on a Royal Air Force base. The Belfast trio is known for anarchic energy, satirical lyrics and use of symbolism associated with the Irish republican movement, which seeks to unite Northern Ireland, which is part of the U.K., with the Republic of Ireland. More than 3,600 people were killed during three decades of violence in Northern Ireland involving Irish republican militants, pro-British Loyalist militias and the U.K. security forces. Kneecap takes its name from a brutal punishment — shooting in the leg — that was dealt out by paramilitary groups to informers and drug dealers. The group has faced criticism for lyrics laden with expletives and drug references, and for political statements, especially since videos emerged allegedly showing the band shouting, 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah,' and calling on people to kill lawmakers. Members of the group say they don't support Hezbollah or Hamas, nor condone violence, and O hAnnaidh says he picked up a flag that was thrown onto the stage without knowing what it represented. Kneecap has accused critics of trying to silence the band because of its support for the Palestinian cause throughout the war in the Gaza Strip. A performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April — where the band accused Israel, with U.S. support, of committing genocide against the Palestinians — sparked calls for the group members' U.S. visas to be revoked. Several Kneecap gigs have since been canceled as a result of the controversy. The BBC, which airs many hours of Glastonbury performances, didn't show Kneecap's set live, but said it would 'look to make an on-demand version of Kneecap's performance available on our digital platforms' afterward. About 200,000 ticket holders have gathered at Worthy Farm in southwest England for Britain's most prestigious summer music festival, which features almost 4,000 performers on 120 stages. Headline acts performing over three days ending Sunday include Neil Young, Charli XCX, Rod Stewart, Busta Rhymes, Olivia Rodrigo and Doechii. Glastonbury highlights Friday included a performance from U.K. rockers the 1975, an unannounced set by New Zealand singer Lorde, a raucous reception for Alanis Morissette and an emotional return for Scottish singer Lewis Capaldi, two years after he took a break from touring to adjust to the effect of the neurological condition Tourette syndrome. Dixon writes for the Associated Press.
