Bob Vylan, an English punk duo based in London, sparked controversy at this year’s Glastonbury Festival following a politically charged performance that included what some have described as antisemitic chants.
Despite neither member of the duo being Jewish or Palestinian, much of their set focused on the war in Gaza. The frontman led the crowd in chants including “Death, death, to the IDF” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine must be free.”
The duo also performed a song titled I Heard You Want Your Country Back, which protests far right rhetoric and demonstrations that have emerged across the UK in recent years, often under the slogan “We want our country back”.
