Glastonbury “Appalled” By Bob Vylan’s “Death To The IDF” Chant

Kneecap are well-known for their fervent pro-Palestine activism onstage, particularly during the Coachella performance that got them into some hot water earlier this year. After having a handful of their shows canceled and facing what they called a “coordinated smear campaign,” the Irish-language rap trio made a successful festival return this weekend at Glastonbury, leading the crowd in a “Free Palestine” chant and cursing out the UK Prime Minister. Their set wasn’t livestreamed, but is now available on BBC’s iPlayer. Kneecap weren’t the only artists at the festival condemning Israel, however; just before Kneecap, British punk/grime duo Bob Vylan performed, and started a “Death to the IDF” chant that’s now receiving backlash.
