Bob Vylan played its first show on Wednesday night since the punk rock duo’s controversial on-stage comments at Glastonbury. At a sold-out surprise gig at London’s 100 Club, frontman Bobby Vylan — whose real name is Pascal Robinson-Foster — discouraged the crowd from repeating the chant that caused the band to become the subject of a police investigation. During Bob Vylan’s Glastonbury set on June 28, Robinson-Foster led the packed audience in chants of “death, death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]” as well as “free, free Palestine” and “from the river to the sea, Palestine must be free.” The set was streamed live on the BBC and caused a firestorm, particularly for the IDF chant, which some deemed antisemitic.
