Bob Vylan no longer playing Manchester festival after Glastonbury controversy
It comes as police launched an investigation after rapper Bobby Vylan led crowds in chants of 'death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)' during their livestreamed performance at the Somerset music festival last weekend.
A statement posted on Radar festival's Instagram account said: 'Bob Vylan will not be appearing at Radar festival this weekend.'
It has since updated its website, changing the Saturday slot to 'Headliner TBA' (to be announced).
In response, the group shared the festival's statement on their Instagram story, adding the caption: 'Silence is not an option. We will be fine, the people of Palestine are hurting. Manchester we will be back.'
The rap group had issued a statement on Tuesday claiming they were being 'targeted for speaking up' after Avon and Somerset police began its investigation.
The BBC has also faced criticism for livestreaming the set and has since apologised, describing the chants as 'antisemitic sentiments' that were 'unacceptable'.
It later emerged BBC director-general Tim Davie was at Glastonbury while the performance was being livestreamed.

A BBC spokesperson said: 'The director-general was informed of the incident after the performance and at that point he was clear it should not feature in any other Glastonbury coverage.'
The group have since been banned from entering the US, ahead of their tour, with deputy secretary of state Christopher Landau revoking the duo's visas for their 'hateful tirade at Glastonbury'.
They have also been pulled from their upcoming performance at a German music venue.
Bob Vylan are 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.
Bobby Vylan is the stage name of Pascal Robinson-Foster, 34, according to reports, while his bandmate drummer uses the alias Bobbie Vylan.

And now let's bomb Glastonbury
A small yield nuclear weapon, such as the American W89, dropped on Glastonbury in late June would immediately remove from our country almost everybody who is hugely annoying. You would see a marked reduction in the keffiyeh klan, for a start, and all those middle-class Extinction Rebellion protestors would find, in a nanosecond, that their rebellion was pointless, because extinction had arrived even more summarily than they expected. Go on, glue yourselves to that, Poppy and Oliver. Street drummers, liberal politicians, provo vegans, radical rappers, spiritual healers, Billy Bragg, that bloke who owns Forest Green Rovers, druggies, tattooed blue-haired hags, almost the entirety of middle-class London – all evaporated. I am not saying that we should do this, of course – it would be a horrible, psychopathic thing to do. I am merely hypothesising, in a slightly wistful kinda way. One on Glasto, one on Brighton, and the UK would soon begin its recovery, with only a few chunks of gently glowing cobalt 60 left to remind us of what we are missing. One on Glasto, one on Brighton, and the UK would soon begin its recovery The BBC would cease to exist, too. It identifies Glastonbury as an expression of the UK 'coming together', which shows you how much it understands about the country. It has poured millions of pounds of licence-payers' money into its coverage, and 400 staff were there last weekend, including the director-general, Tim Davie. Or at least 400 staff were actually working there – I'll bet another 400 or so were there in their little tents, desperate to surf the vibe or whatever the phrase is. All those people, then, and they still couldn't get it right. Nor should we take seriously their claims that pulling the ridiculous Bob Vylan from air would not be anywhere near as simple as flicking a switch. It is every bit as simple as flicking a switch, in that all they had to do was flick a switch. They had rafts of presenters who could have filled the time, plus cameras at every other stage in the festival site. All it needed was someone with the merest vestige of sentience to make the decision – but, then, this is the BBC we are talking about. Whoever was in charge of output at that moment – almost certainly someone called 'Johnny' or 'Ayesha' – probably just thought the stuff about the IDF was 'top bants'. In truth, I am not much worked up about the Bob Vylan (or Kneecap) stuff, per se. They were only doing what an endless list of hip young musicians have done at every summer festival going all the way back to Country Joe McDonald and 'one-two-three-four what are we fighting for?' – i.e., channelling infantile far-left agitprop devoid of nuance and context to an audience of gullible drongos. The difference is that the BBC decided to cover it, thinking – as it unquestionably does – that the majority of the country would be cheerfully humming along with Bob Vylan's tuneful music and are entirely down with the sentiments expressed. That is the BBC's real crime. It is worth a brief digression here on the nature of protest songs, of rock musicians playing politics and whether they have an effect or not. The BBC would argue that they do have an effect, that they tap into a perhaps previously unexpressed sentiment among the wider public and hence herald great change. Au contraire. In the mid- to late-1960s, the more protest songs and festival chants there were, the further to the right swung the rest of the electorate. As evidence, I would point you in the direction of Richard Nixon's comprehensive victory in 1968 and then, after Country Joe had done his stuff at Woodstock, a landslide in 1972. They all seriously believed McGovern was going to win that one, so wrapped up inside their radical bubble were they all (including the broadcasters). All those youthful protests of the 1960s resulted in surprise victories for the right at the polls a few years later – in the UK with Ted Heath in 1970, in France with an unexpected win for Pompidou in 1969, and of course the USA. The more fervently they insist that they are right, the more likely it is that the rest of the country will tell them to get stuffed. I suppose it is possible that Bob Vylan will do for Tim Davie, the DG – although he is the least of the corporation's problems, frankly. He knows he has a workforce which, in its arrogance, subscribes to a set of political beliefs unshared by the people who pay for its existence. And it is so endemic that there is nothing he can do about it. One little thing I noticed: the BBC News dutifully covered the Bob Vylan debacle and did so even handedly. But on every single occasion, on radio and TV, the story was immediately followed by a report of Israeli 'atrocities' in Gaza. Every single time. Do you think that is an accident? There was a programme on BBC Radio 4 on Monday, as part of the 'Currently' series, about Louise Lancaster, an environmental protestor who was finally (on her fifth conviction) handed down a four-year sentence (later reduced to three years) for organising a protest which seriously inconvenienced hundreds of thousands of people. You would be hard-pressed to find a more egregiously biased example of broadcasting. Lancaster – a middle-class teacher from Grantchester – was portrayed as a kind of saint, suffering state persecution for her entirely valid beliefs. The Sun and Daily Mail were mentioned disparagingly and every action taken by Lancaster lauded. The BBC decided first to commission this rubbish and then put it out. Can you imagine it doing a similar piece about Lucy Connolly? Not a chance. That is the real problem with the BBC. It is utterly incapable of recognising the bias it displays every day on an hourly basis, no matter how often that bias is pointed out. Bob Vylan, frankly, is the least of it.

Truly awful: Roblox's Grow a Garden reviewed
Grade: D– There's some scholarly research to be done, I fancy, on the strange psychological appeal of boringness in videogames. These gaudy things could be non-stop excitement, and yet many of the most successful are mega boring. 'Grinding' – repetitive tasks undertaken for incremental rewards – is a matter of pride and pleasure for serious gamers; and some games – I'm looking at you, interior-decorating Sims – really do offer a digital equivalent to watching paint dry. Remember FarmVille, for instance? Here was a truly mind-numbing Facebook game where you managed a virtual plot of land and grew corn and tomatoes and whatnot, traded them for imaginary currency, bought seed to grow more crops, and so ad infinitum. It is what sometimes gets called a 'Skinner box'. It was awful. Everyone loved it. Your mum loved it. It was Facebook's most popular game by miles. Anyway, the kids have now discovered FarmVille in a new form. It's called Grow a Garden, and it's on the Roblox platform, whose audience is pre-teen or tween, and the BBC reports that 16 million people are playing it. God help us. You buy some carrot seed, dump it in your blobby vegetable patch (the visuals are Minecraft meets Lego), harvest, sell, rinse, repeat. Your plants grow while you're offline, so even while you're at school your blocky virtual blueberries are growing. I found the best place to play Grow a Garden was in my allotment, where the time I spent attending to my virtual crops was time I wasn't acquiring blood-blisters digging out couch grass and horsetails and bitterly lamenting the sin of Adam. I felt bad. There's probably a lesson in there somewhere.

The political climate at Glastonbury was not especially febrile
Everyone who wasn't at Glastonbury this year knows exactly what it was like: a seething mass of hatred and rabid leftiness, characterised by an angry punk duo named Bob Vylan calling for the death of the IDF. But that's just the tabloid hysteria talking – betraying also maybe a hint of envy towards those lucky enough to have bagged one of the £400 tickets. The truth is, the political climate was not especially febrile. Sure, the jaunty red, white, green and black of the Palestinian flag was very en vogue, but a few years back it was the blue and yellow of Ukraine and the EU. A few decades before that it was free Tibet. Flags of various communist regimes with questionable human rights records, meanwhile, dip in and out. Glastonbury is after all stuck in a time loop (they'll still be cursing Thatcher in 2050), and any chants and slogans are said more in provocation and out of a sense of mischief than bloodthirstiness. Scratch beneath the agitprop and all you'll find is a few Deloitte ESG consultants worried they might have misplaced their bag of MDMA on the day that Michael Bibi plays in Arcadia. The upper middle class yearn for a cause to salve that year's guilt about their lack of real-life anxieties. Remember that on Sunday Rod Stewart played to a huge crowd the day after endorsing Nigel Farage; tune-seeking minds are fickle. Admittedly, the explicit on-stage rejection of politics from the 1975 singer Matty Healy provoked a curled lip from some fans: everyone who's used a dating app knows 'non-political' is code for secretly rightwing. Half their songs sound much the same, lapped up by teenage girls. But on the sadder ones – such as the internal rhyme-heavy 'Part of the Band' – Healy comes into his own, asking: 'Am I ironically woke? The butt of my joke?/ Or am I just some post-coke, average, skinny bloke/ Calling his ego imagination?' At the end of the set, we're left just as he wants us: uncertain whether his feline sexiness belies a wise tomcat impersonating a lapcat, or the other way around. Playing a main stage at Glastonbury comes with pitfalls. Like gladiators in the Colosseum, it's not just about surviving, but getting a mass thumbs-up from the implacable mob. Some fall at the we-know-better hurdle (Guns N' Roses notably played lengthy deep cuts in 2023 that even diehard fans didn't know). Others never engage with the crowd besides the obligatory 'hello Glaston-berry'. Lorde's secret set was a bit of both, announcing to the crowd she would play the entirety of her new album (released that day) to the politest of polite whoops. With no one knowing the lyrics, the set fell flat until the final two songs, when we were rewarded for having eaten our broccoli. To those who do the opposite, large dividends are paid. Pulp's (worst-kept) secret set saw their triumphant welcome back after years of rumours with a slew of hits and Jarvis Cocker squirming his way around the audience's hearts. British people like tea and dad dancing so why not throw teabags at them while writhing about? Charli XCX meanwhile managed to hoover up most of Saturday's punters. Turns out Brits also like party drugs and sex and songs about party drugs and sex. As she tore through Brat at breakneck speed, Charli's only crime was leaving those yearning for a special guest unsatisfied. Yet the festival's most joyous set came from Nile Rodgers and Chic (I say this as someone who recoils from the word 'disco'). Imagine witnessing the best covers set you've ever seen ('We Are Family', 'Like A Virgin', 'Get Lucky', 'Let's Dance'), then realising they're not covers, and that seemingly every hit you know is written by the supremely cool man playing in front of you. The crowd was filled with those who knew how good they were having seen them before, and those who couldn't help but hear about it. If they were to play the same set every year, no one would complain. Glastonbury is always derided for becoming too commercial, but where else would you be able to see members of former headlining legends such as the Chemical Brothers and Orbital play sets in the small hours so intimate I could stand right in front of them? (For the record, Phil Hartnoll sweats gallons). In the end the festival's most special moments and its fabled spirit come from an abundance of people working for the love of the game. 'Twas ever thus.
