State Department Revokes Bob Vylan’s Visa Over Glastonbury Performance


The Department of State revoked Bob Vylan's U.S. visa following their performance at Glastonbury, where the duo advocated to 'free Palestine.'

“The@StateDept has revoked the US visas for the members of the Bob Vylan band in light of their hateful tirade at Glastonbury, including leading the crowd in death chants,” Christopher Landau, the U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, wrote on social platform X. He wrote that he had been “inundated with messages of both support and hatred.” He added that he was inspired by his daughter responding to a survey on school meals and that “listening to her voice her opinion” reminded him that “we may not be doomed after all.” “As we grow older and our fire possibly starts to dim under the suffocation of adult life and all its responsibilities, it is incredibly important that we encourage and inspire future generations to pick up the torch that was passed to us.
