Police are now investigating Bob Vylan and Kneecap‘s Glastonbury sets.
In what has been a fast-moving story over the past 48 hours, the local Avon and Somerset police have just announced that they have opened investigations into both and have recorded the activity as a “public order incident.”
“Video footage and audio from Bob Vylan and Kneecap’s performances at Glastonbury Festival on Saturday has been reviewed,” said the police force. “Following the completion of that assessment process we have decided further enquiries are required and a criminal investigation is now being undertaken. A senior detective has been appointed to lead this investigation.”
The force added: “This has been recorded as a public order incident at this time while our enquiries are at an early stage. The investigation will be evidence-led and will closely consider all appropriate legislation, including relating to hate crimes.
Punk duo Vylan chanted “death to the IDF” and complained about working for a “f***ing Zionist.” Their live stream was not taken down from the BBC, which the corporation today said it “regrets,” while the duo have been dropped by UTA.
One member of Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap is already bailed on a terror charge, while the group has just been let off after being investigated for calling for the death of MPs at a gig 18 months ago.
