Audience at sold-out London gig told ‘every other chant is fine’ amid police investigation into Glastonbury performance
The frontman of Bob Vylan warned his fans to stop chanting against the Israeli military during the duo’s first UK gig since the band’s Glastonbury festival performance.
Pascal Robinson-Foster, who goes by the name Bobby Vylan, told fans at a sold-out surprise gig in London on Wednesday night they could get him in “trouble” after police launched an investigation into the group over comments he made at Glastonbury.
The 34-year-old led chants of “death, death to the IDF”, referring to the Israel Defense Forces, and spoke of working for a “fucking Zionist” during their show on the West Holts stage at the Somerset festival on 28 June. Bob Vylan issued a statement last week claiming they were being “targeted for speaking up”.
It came before the Belfast trio Kneecap’s appearance on the same stage. Both bands are being investigated by Avon and Somerset police over remarks made during their concerts.
