A punk-rap duo from the United Kingdom that shouted during their set at the Glastonbury festival ‘Death to the IDF’ and ‘Free Palestine’ is now convicted by political and festival officials for their actions.
Bob Vylan, located in London, describes himself on X as “the most beautiful punk/rap/alt-ding you’ll ever meet.” With songs such as “We live here”, “Dream Bigger”, makes me violent “and” General Terms and Conditions “, the duo combines elements of rap and punk.
The duo performed an energetic set at Glastonbury Festival on Saturday, while eventually a political stage changed for the group of the group to scream anti-Israel rhetoric.
While he was holding the microphone, singer Bobby Vylan shouted: “Death, death of the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]”Several times before the microphone turned to the crowd to allow participants to repeat the singing. The IDF is the national army of Israel. Videos from the view of the crowd shouted different Palestinian flags while the artist and present shouted back and forth.
