Glastonbury ‘Appalled' by Band's Chant Against Israel's Military
The organizers of Glastonbury music festival said on Sunday that they were 'appalled' by statements made onstage during a performance by the British punk duo Bob Vylan, in which the lead singer led the crowd in chants of 'Death, death to the I.D.F.,' referring to the Israeli Defense Forces. Glastonbury, Britain's biggest music festival, had already been facing criticism for its decision to allow Kneecap, an Irish-language rap group, to perform on Saturday, despite pressure from broadcasters and politicians to cut the act after the band voiced anti-Israel statements and one member faced a terrorism charge. Kneecap's performance was such a draw at the festival that the arena was already full for Bob Vylan's set an hour beforehand. The chants by Bob Vylan's singer, which were broadcast live on the BBC, drew immediate condemnation from politicians in the United Kingdom. Israel's embassy in the United Kingdom, as well as some Jewish groups, accused Glastonbury of promoting hate. Avon and Somerset police said on Saturday that they were reviewing video footage from the stage to determine if any criminal offenses had been committed. 'With almost 4,000 performances at Glastonbury 2025, there will inevitably be artists and speakers appearing on our stages whose views we do not share, and a performer's presence here should never be seen as a tacit endorsement of their opinions and beliefs,' said a statement on the Instagram accounts of the Glastonbury Festival and Emily Eavis, one of the festival's organizers, on Sunday. 'However, we are appalled by the statements made from the West Holts stage by Bob Vylan yesterday.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Cruz Beckham (the one in the middle) shaded Brooklyn Beckham (the one on the right) about the latter's various career pursuits. Miley Cyrus was accused of ignoring a fan during a meet-and-greet alongside Naomi Campbell. Martin Kove was kicked out of a fan convention after biting Cobra Kai costar Alicia Hannah-Kim. 'I deeply regret and apologize for my actions regarding the incident with Alicia (Hannah-Kim), a genuinely kind and wonderful person who didn't deserve to be put in this position,' Martin said in a statement to TMZ. 'I've always respected her and considered her a highly professional and talented co-worker on Cobra Kai. I was being playful in the moment but went too far and there is absolutely no excuse for my behavior. I regret my actions for which I take full responsibility for what I did, and again I apologize to her and her husband. I'm committed to learning from this and it will never happen again.' Marge Simpson died (kind of) in the season finale of The Simpsons. Kelly Clarkson got caught staring at Allison Williams' Botox on The Kelly Clarkson Show. 'You looked at my forehead. There's Botox in there,' Allison said, pointing out that Kelly glanced at her forehead after the actor mentioned Botox. (They both had a nice laugh about it.) Andrew Garfield came face-to-face with a fan who once said she wanted him to "smash a laptop on my tits" as part of our Thirst Tweets video series. "Honestly, one of the more creative sex acts I can imagine," he said to the fan during a Q&A at the Glastonbury festival. "I haven't imagined participating in that. I'm not. I refuse. But happy to meet you, and you're very sick. You're sick [laugh]." Will Smith seemingly referenced slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars as part of a new freestyle. 'If you talking crazy out your face up on the stage and disrespect me on the stage, expect me on the dish it out, cry foul when it's time to take it/ City full of real ones, wasn't raised to fake it," he rapped during an appearance on Apple Music's Fire in the Booth series. Matty Healy seemingly referenced his ex Taylor Swift during the 1975's Glastonbury headlining performance. 'What this moment is making me realize is that I probably am the best," he said, before gesturing towards the title track of Taylor's album The Tortured Poets Department. "I'm probably the best songwriter of my generation. The best, what do we say… A poet, ladies and gentlemen, is what I am.' And finally, Katie Couric shaded Lauren Sánchez's bridal styling.
