The controversy surrounding British punk-rap duo Bob Vylan has reignited after the band's frontman staunchly defended leading a crowd in chants of "Death to the IDF" at the Glastonbury Festival earlier this year, expressing "no regrets at all."
The shocking comments were made during an interview on the podcast of prominent British journalist Louis Theroux, months after the incident led to significant backlash, including the loss of their US touring visa and their management agency dropping them.
Zero Regrets for the Call
When directly asked by Theroux if he would repeat the inflammatory call, the Bob Vylan vocalist was unequivocally defiant.
"Oh, yeah," he answered without hesitation. "Like, if I was playing Glastonbury tomorrow, yeah, I'd do it. I don't regret it. I'd do it again tomorrow and twice on Sundays. I don't regret it at all."
The original incident occurred in late June during the band's performance, which was broadcast live by the BBC, drawing widespread condemnation from various figures and organizations. Following the initial uproar, the band reportedly attempted to shut down similar chants at a subsequent concert to "avoid trouble."
