Festival criticism: Police examined Bob Vylan's controversial appearances!
The appearances at the Glastonbury Festival, which takes place on June 28 and 29, 2025, are the focus of a politically charged debate. The performance of the rap-punk duo Bob Vylan in particular caused controversy. Videos show how the band tuned slogans such as "Death of the IDF" and "Free, Free Palestine". In view of these statements, the Avon and Somerset Police initiated a review to determine whether there are criminal acts that require a criminal investigation. This is reported by the AP news .
The Israeli message in the United Kingdom was concerned about the "compliance and hateful rhetoric" on the stage. Health Minister Wes Streeting described Bob Vylan's actions as "hideous" and called for a statement from the festival organizers and the BBC. Particular attention has been paid to Vylan's statements, especially because festival organizers emphasized that there is no space for anti -Semitism, hate speeches or calls for violence in the Glastonbury Festival, as the Bietigheimer Zeitung reported.
delayed appearance and political controversy
in parallel to the controversy around Bob Vylan, the appearance of the Irish group Kneecap was also discussed. The appearance of this band is also not without problems. A musician from Kneecap was charged with a suspected terrorist crime because he showed a Hezbollah flag at a concert in London. Prime Minister Keir Strander commented against the appearance and the band members reacted with insulting statements in the direction of the Starmer after a band member announced an "uprising", but later withdrew. This complexity underlines the tensions that now prevail at a music festival like Glastonbury. The AP News mentioned that KNEECAP also sperms such as "Frei Palestina" voted.
In addition to the political scandal, a variety of artists appear, including Rod Stewart and Olivia Rodrigo. The last day of the festival promises not only musical highlights, but also a continued existence of the political discussions that significantly shape the event this year.
