State Department pulls visas issued to British punk-rappers Bob Vylan after antisemitic ‘hateful tirade’ at Glastonbury

The US government has pulled visas issued to British punk-rappers Bob Vylan Monday after their antisemitic “hateful tirade” at Glastonbury over the weekend.

“The State Department has revoked the US visas for the members of the Bob Vylan band in light of their hateful tirade at Glastonbury, including leading the crowd in death chants,” Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said in a post on X.

“Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country.”

The duo attempted to lead the crowd in chants of “Free, free Palestine” and “Death, death to the IDF” during their set at the venerable music festival on Saturday.
