performance last Saturday. Rapper Bobby Vylan led chants of "free, free Palestine" and "death, death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]". The festival said the statements "very much crossed a line", while antisemitism campaigners said they will formally complain to the BBC over its "outrageous decision" to broadcast the act live.

A BBC spokesperson previously said some of the comments were "deeply offensive", adding it had issued a warning on screen about "very strong and discriminatory language". The set will not be available on BBC iPlayer. Bob Vylan are an English punk duo based in London. Bobby Vylan serves as the singer and guitarist, while Bobbie Vylan is the drummer of the band. Both members use stage names to maintain their privacy and collectively refer to themselves as "the Bobs". A joint Instagram post from Glastonbury Festival and organiser Emily Eavis on Sunday said that the event stood "against all forms of war and terrorism", and that with almost 4,000 performances on site "there will inevitably be artists and speakers appearing on our stages whose views we do not share". "However, we are appalled by the statements made from the West Holts stage by Bob Vylan yesterday," it continued.

"Their chants very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence." Speaking to the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme, Health Secretary Wes Streeting said Bob Vylan's comments were "revolting". "If I think about the war in Ukraine, no doubt I want Ukraine to win but that doesn't mean I'm going to be cheering on the deaths of Russians, I don't think anyone wins from that," Streeting said.

He said the "irony of that music festival is that Israelis were taken from a music festival, killed raped and in some cases are still being held captive". "Whether you are Israeli or Palestinian, whether you are Christian, Jewish or Muslim, all life is precious and we're not going to solve one of the most intractable conflicts on earth with those sorts of stunts," he said.
