Established by Michael Eavis in 1970, Glastonbury has grown into the UK's largest music festival, drawing over 200,000 fans to enjoy performances across more than 100 stages. 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)
It looks like Bob Vylan’s “cancellation” is turning out to actually have some benefits for them. In case you need a refresher, the British punk-rap duo took some time out of their Glastonbury set last month to protest Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people, leading the crowd in a “death to the IDF” chant. Festival organizers said they were “appalled” by the remarks, the BBC described the set as “utterly unacceptable” after they livestreamed the performance, the US government rescinded the band’s visas ahead of their North American tour, and their booking agency dropped them. Luckily, there are a lot of folks on Bob Vylan’s side too.
