Bob Vylan issues statement after being dropped from festival lineups
Following the performance, Bob Vylan was removed from the lineups of multiple European festivals, including Radar Festival in Manchester and Kave Fest in France.
The band was also reportedly dropped by their agent, United Talent Agency, and had their US visas revoked by American officials.
Glastonbury organisers stated they were 'appalled' by the chants, while the BBC later said it 'should have pulled' the live coverage of the performance.
Bob Vylan responded on Instagram by claiming they are being 'targeted for speaking up' and that the controversy is a 'distraction' from the issue of a 'violent military machine'.

Cigarettes and (NO) alcohol! Oasis fans left fuming at the 'scandalous' price of booze - with half a pint of Strongbow costing £7.70
Oasis fans have been left fuming at the prices of booze at the band's first reunion show in Cardiff tonight. Thousands of adoring fans flocked to the Welsh capital to watch Liam and Noel Gallagher take to the stage together for the first time since 2009, when the band dramatically broke up. But those who made the journey from all over the world were forced to stump up eye-watering sums to enjoy alcohol at the gig this evening, after already paying hundreds of pounds to get tickets. At the 34 bars inside the Principality Stadium, believed to be manned by around 900 staff, gig-goers had to pay £7.70 if they wanted a half-pint of Strongbow, while prices of spirits were just shy of £10 each. For a 187.5ml wine fans had to stump up a steep £8.50, while non-alcoholic options also proved pricey with a bottle of water costing £3.40 and soft drinks at 10 or 20 pence more. And while Cruzcampo was priced at £8.20 for a pint or £4.20 per half pint, fans were still infuriated at the prices. One posted on X: 'Robbing t***s. £8.20 for a pint of p**s.' Another added that it was 'theft', to which someone replied that it cost them the same amount to see Oasis live in 1996 as it did for two pints of Strongbow at tonight's show. Spirits were also just shy of £10 each at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff It comes as the Gallagher brothers played their first gig tonight after a 16-year hiatus to an ecstatic crowd in Wales - many thought such an event was impossible after their bitter public fall outs. Standing on stage - saying very few words in their opening moments other than 'hello beautiful people' and Liam yelling 'it's good to be back' - the brothers opened with an exhilarating performance of their track, Hello. Liam was seen wearing his signature green parka while Noel wore a denim blue shirt with dark jeans as they performed major hits including Morning Glory and Acquiesce. The pair appeared right back home as they stood reunited in front of a crowd of 74,000 people - putting the last 16 years of quarrelling behind them. Liam shouted to the crowd 'is anyone here from Manchester' to which part of the crowd roared. Tea, coffee and hot chocolate all cost £3.20 each at the stadium in the Welsh capital As the crowd grew with excitement almost everyone was stood up from their seats with pints being flung everywhere. Many fans travelled from all corners of the globe to watch the first night of the 41-show tour across the world. e told MailOnline that tonight's 'once in a lifetime' gig could not be missed. Rodrigo Faez, 42, has travelled from Gijon in Spain to see the show tonight. The super fan, who was lucky enough to see one of Oasis' final gigs in 2009, said: 'This is a once in a lifetime night for us. It's like following your favourite football team but in music with the loyalty, the identification, Oasis is more than a rockband. 'Oasis ruined our lives when they split up but then they have saved our lives again. I was so disappointed when they split up because we thought they were going to last forever. 'And then I really thought they were never going to reunite again and they did it and we get to enjoy this. 'It's a very special day for us with the atmosphere, the people and the music of course.' Antoine Bordeau, Clément Santoro, Alexandre Bordeau travelled from Paris to Cardiff last night ahead of the gig. Antoine said: 'We are so happy to be here and so excited to be here to share this moment with the people from Cardiff.'
