Avon and Somerset Police have launched a criminal investigation into the Glastonbury Festival sets of Bob Vylan and Kneecap, following public backlash and political scrutiny over remarks made during their respective performances on Saturday (June 29).

We, like those in the spotlight before us, are not the story. We are a distraction from the story,” Bobby and Bobbie Vylan say.

Rap duo Bob Vylan issue statement clarifying their Glastonbury Festival chant criticizing the Israel Defense Forces and calling to Free Palestine.
