Glastonbury ‘Appalled’ by Bob Vylan’s ‘Loss of life to the IDF’ Chant

Glastonbury organizers have responded to controversy over punk duo Bob Vylan‘s set on Saturday, throughout which singer Bobby Vylan led the group in a number of chants together with “loss of life, loss of life to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces].”

A press release shared on Sunday morning by Glastonbury Pageant’s official Instagram account in addition to by organizer Emily Eavis reads: “With nearly 4,000 performances at Glastonbury 2025, there’ll inevitably be artists and audio system showing on our phases whose views we don’t share, and a performer’s presence right here ought to by no means be seen as a tacit endorsement of their opinions and beliefs.”
