In 2026, the festival will take a fallow year, a planned pause to allow the Worthy Farm site time to rest and recover. (Photo by Leon Neal/Getty Images)
British rap-punk duo Bob Vylan were planning on touring North America this fall. But after they led their Glastonbury crowd in a “death to the IDF” chant last weekend, the US State Department revoked the members’ visas, with Deputy Secretary Of State Christopher Landau writing: “Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country.” (Apropos of nothing, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu just so happens to be stopping by the White House next week.)
