Bob Vylan announce another last-minute gig amid post-Glastonbury investigations
The Ipswich-formed duo, who are completed by drummer Bobbie Vylan, are also being investigated by the Metropolitan Police for alleged comments in a video of their performance supporting Iggy Pop at Alexandra Palace in May.
A post shared by Bob Vylan (@bobbyvylan)
In the video, Bobby Vylan appears to say: 'Death to every single IDF soldier out there as an agent of terror for Israel. Death to the IDF.'
Announcing the show at Bristol's Thekla venue, the band said on Instagram: 'Bristol tonight @theklabris ticket link in bio. On sale now.'
The new gig comes after the band posted a message on Instagram on Thursday saying 'where next?' following their London show.
At their performance at the 100 Club in Oxford Street on Wednesday, the singer told the crowd to stop the IDF chants as they could 'get me in trouble', before leading the crowd in chants of 'Free, free Palestine.'
The duo ended the gig by holding up a Palestinian flag, with Bobby Vylan telling the audience: 'We are a loving band, we love you lot for being here with us. We love the Palestinian people.
'Their strength, their resilience, their ability to keep on going in the face of it all is a beautiful and inspiring thing. So as hard as this week may have been for us, it has been nothing in comparison to what the Palestinian people are going through right now.
'That is where the attention should be. That is where the focus should be. That is where these politicians and media outlets should be focusing their attention right now, not on the words or the actions of a f****** punk band. It is ridiculous and it only speaks to the ridiculous state of this country right now.'
Following their Glastonbury performance, the band have had their US visas revoked, ahead of their US tour later this year, and were pulled from their Saturday headline slot at Radar festival in Manchester and from an upcoming performance at a German music venue.
Their agency United Talent Agency (UTA) has also reportedly dropped them following the comments, and appears to have removed the act from its official website.
The group issued a statement last week claiming they were being 'targeted for speaking up'.
Bob Vylan are still expected to perform at the Boardmasters surfing and music festival in Newquay, Cornwall, in August.
According to reports in The Times, the BBC's director of music Lorna Clarke was among a group of senior staff who have stepped back from their day-to-day roles after controversy over the broadcaster's decision to show Bob Vylan's set live.
Their Glastonbury Festival set came directly before Irish rap trio Kneecap performed on the West Holts Stage.
The group, made up of Liam Og O hAnnaidh, JJ O Dochartaigh and Naoise O Caireallain, are also seeing their Glastonbury set investigated by police.
Their performance saw one of the band's members joke that fans should 'start a riot' outside his bandmate's upcoming court appearance, and led crowds in chants of 'F*** Keir Starmer', after the British Prime Minister claimed their appearance at the festival was 'not appropriate'.
O hAnnaidh, who performs as Mo Chara, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court in June charged with a terror offence and will return next month.
Formed in 2017, Bob Vylan are known for addressing political issues in their albums including racism, masculinity and class.

Sylvester Stallone breaks silence on Rocky co-star Hulk Hogan's death
Sylvester Stallone has paid tribute to Hulk Hogan, who died this week at the age of 71. The pair starred together in Rocky III back in 1982 Sylvester Stallone has paid a heartbreaking tribute to Hulk Hogan, who died this week. The WWE wrestler died at the age of 71 following a reported cardiac arrest and tributes have since flooded in for the sportsman. Rocky star Sylvester - who appeared alongside the wrestler in 1982 on the set of Rocky III and he said he knew he was going to be famous. Sylvester said there was a glow about him on set. He also posted on Instagram, writing: "I had the pleasure of meeting this brilliant personality and showman when he was 26 years old. He was absolutely wonderful and his amazing skill made Rocky three incredibly special. My heart breaks. I think that he's gone." Sylvester recalled how 315 pound Hulk would pick him up and drop him on the ground but he had a special way of dropping him down to ensure he was never hurt. He described the punches as incredibly accurate and precise. Branding the wrestling star a "force to be reckoned with", he said: "This fella was very... he was just at the beginning of his career, he hadn't quite come into his own yet so we got him at a point where he was so enthusiastic and I remember he was immense, he was probably about 315lbs (22st 5lbs) but very smart. He had this deep, calming voice. "And he was willing to do anything that would make the show better. At first no one wanted him because they said he was too big – that was the whole point it's like David and Goliath, the bigger the better. And he showed up in magnificent shape." He told TMZ:"The thing was, we started to roll around and he would literally pick me up and drop me to the ground. I figured I'm gonna be literally pulp by the time I land and yet he would always break the fall and do things you wouldn't see like a magician." Sylvester went on to say how smart Hulk was. He shared: "He was very smart. A lot of people judge a book by its cover - I know what that feels like. They did the same with him. He was very smart, very entrepreneurial, very musical. "He just was in a lot of pain. I know he had so many injuries. He said 10 plus and yet he never complained. He just tried to persevere and be as pleasant as possible. I miss him terribly. He's irreplaceable. It's been a rough week between him and Ozzy Osbourne. We've lost some monumental human beings."
