STORY
The duo Bob Vylan have been dropped from more festivals following alleged hate speech made from the stage at Glastonbury. The duo’s management company has dropped the performers and the United States has withdrawn their visas in advance of a series of gigs in the country. Gigs at Manchester and in France have been cancelled, with Glastonbury condemning the comments made by the duo. The BBC apologised for broadcasting the performance, saying “the antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves” and Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister, said “There is no excuse for this kind of appalling hate speech.”
