US Considers Revoking British Rap Duo Bob Vylan Visas After Glastonbury Chant

The Trump administration is reportedly considering revoking the US visas of British rap duo Bob Vylan following their controversial performance at the Glastonbury Festival, where they chanted 'death to the IDF' and displayed pro-Palestinian messages. The duo, consisting of Pascal Robinson-Foster ('Bobby Vylan') and drummer Bobbie Vylan, are scheduled for a US tour this autumn, but their plans are now in jeopardy due to the State Department's review under a zero-tolerance policy against individuals perceived to support terrorism. The chants sparked widespread condemnation, including from Glastonbury organizers, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and the BBC, which later expressed regret for broadcasting the performance. The StopAntisemitism group and Republican Congressman Randy Fine have actively called for visa denial or revocation, citing the anti-Israel nature of the statements. The State Department, led by Marco Rubio, has confirmed it is looking into the matter, emphasizing that visas will not be issued to foreigners who support terrorism. Bob Vylan’s talent agency has also dropped them following the backlash.
