Police end investigation into Bob Vylan’s IDF chants at Glastonbury

Avon and Somerset police says there is ‘insufficient’ evidence for realistic prospect of conviction

An investigation into chants by the rap duo Bob Vylan at Glastonbury festival will not lead to any further action by prosecutors as there is “insufficient” evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction, police said.

Bobby Vylan, whose real name is Pascal Robinson-Foster, led crowds on the festival’s West Holts stage in chants of “death, death to the IDF”, referring to the Israel Defense Forces, during their performance in June.
