Bob Vylan Says He’d Repeat Glastonbury ‘Death to the IDF’ Chant in Theroux Interview

The remarks were aired in a Louis Theroux interview recorded on 1 October.

Overview

  • Frontman Bobby Vylan said he is not regretful of the chant and would “do it again tomorrow, twice on Sundays.”
  • The duo’s post-Glastonbury penalties remain in place, including being dropped by UTA, U.S. visa revocation and cancelled shows.
  • Avon and Somerset Police continue a criminal investigation into the Glastonbury performance.
  • The BBC’s Executive Complaints Unit ruled the broadcast breached standards on harm and offence, and Keir Starmer had called the chant “appalling hate speech.”
  • The episode notes the conversation predated the Manchester synagogue attack and the Gaza ceasefire; Vylan denies creating an unsafe environment for Jews and says BBC staff told him the set was “fantastic.”
