‘It Was Horrific’: Radar Festival Speaks Out on Bob Vylan Cancellation


Manchester’s Radar Festival says it was left with no choice but to pull Bob Vylan from its lineup following their controversial set at Glastonbury.

The pair sparked headlines during their performance on Glastonbury’s West Holts Stage, leading chants of “Death to the IDF” while also calling out the BBC, the US and UK governments, and more. Adding to the complexity, Bob Vylan’s agency dropped the band in the wake of the Glastonbury controversy, forcing Jackson-Smith to have a direct conversation with the group about their removal. Alongside being dropped from Radar, Bob Vylan has reportedly been removed from the Kave Festival in France and a Gogol Bordello support slot in Cologne.
