Bob Vylan and Kneecap’s Glastonbury Sets Under U.K. Police Investigation
U.K. police have opened a criminal investigation into Bob Vylan and Kneecap’s Glastonbury performances, citing public order concerns.
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). The band, who had been preparing for a U.S. tour later this year, have since had their American visas revoked according to reporting from BBC News, with a U.S. State Department official writing on social media, “Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country.” Billboard previously reported that the field was closed off 45 minutes before their set due to overcrowding, and their performance began with global news clips about the group, including footage of Sharon Osbourne calling for their U.S. visas to be revoked.
