Bob Vylan Shut Down IDF Chants at First Show Since Glastonbury Gig


Bob Vylan attempted to tone down the temperature rising around the group at their first gig since their controversial Glastonbury gig in June.

In the aftermath of those canceled shows, Bob Vylan returned to the stage Wednesday at London’s 100 Club, where the crowd started its own “Death to the IDF” chant. The BBC, which livestreamed Bob Vylan’s Glastonbury performance, later issued an apology and announced it would no longer broadcast “high risk” acts from the British festival following the controversy. “We deeply regret that such offensive and deplorable behaviour appeared on the BBC and want to apologize to our viewers and listeners and in particular the Jewish community,” the broadcaster said in a statement.
