UK police continue investigation into Bob Vylan performance at Glastonbury

LONDON: British police said on Tuesday they were continuing to investigate comments made on stage during a performance by duo Bob Vylan at Glastonbury music festival in June over derogatory chanting about the Israeli military
Avon and Somerset Police said they had held a voluntary police interview with a man in his mid-30s to help progress their inquiries.
"The matter has been recorded as a public order incident while we continue to investigate and consider all relevant legislation," Avon and Somerset Police said.
The performance by Bob Vylan, a duo whose stage names are Bobby Vylan and Bobbie Vylan, both thought to be in their mid-30s, included on-stage chants of "death, death to the IDF", a reference to the Israel Defense Forces then heavily involved in fighting in Gaza.
The performance was condemned by Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Israeli Embassy in London while the BBC was criticised for not stopping its livestreaming of the set.
Bob Vylan are known for mixing grime and punk rock, and their songs tackle a range of issues including racism, homophobia and the class divide.
