Bob Vylan launch legal action against BBC amid controversy over Glastonbury performance
- Punk duo Bob Vylan announced they are taking legal action against the BBC following controversy surrounding their Glastonbury 2025 performance.
- During their set on the West Holts Stage, the duo led crowds in chants of ‘death, death to the IDF’ (Israel Defence Forces).
- The BBC faced criticism for livestreaming the performance and later apologised, stating the act’s behaviour was ‘offensive and deplorable’.
- Bob Vylan accused the BBC of ‘placing labels upon us that did not, do not and never will fit’ and criticised the corporation’s representation of public interests.
- Following the incident, the duo was dropped from several festivals and a US tour, though a police investigation into the chant concluded with no further action.
