Avon and Somerset Police have launched a criminal investigation into the Glastonbury Festival sets of Bob Vylan and Kneecap, following public backlash and political scrutiny over remarks made during their respective performances on Saturday (June 29).

We, like those in the spotlight before us, are not the story. We are a distraction from the story,” Bobby and Bobbie Vylan say.

British police on Monday launched a criminal investigation into musical duo Bob Vylan and Irish rap band Kneecap's gigs at the Glastonbury music festival after they led chanting against the Israeli military and Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
