Starmer and Glastonbury Condemn Bob Vylan over ‘Death to the IDF’ Chants
At Glastonbury 2025, British punk‑rap duo Bob Vylan led the crowd in chanting “Death, death to the IDF” during their West Holts stage set—prompting swift condemnation from Prime Minister Keir Starmer, festival organizer Emily Eavis, and the BBC. Ofcom is investigating the broadcast, and police are reviewing footage for potential hate‑speech offenses. The BBC issued an apology, admitting the stream should have been cut immediately.
