Bob Vylan has no regrets about his Glastonbury Festival chant

Bobby Vylan has made it clear that he has no regrets over his controversial chant at Glastonbury Festival.

The punk rap duo Bob Vylan came under fire for their set at the summer event after 34-year-old singer Bobby led the crowd in chanting “death, death to the IDF.” Despite the criticism, the singer-guitarist said he would “do it again tomorrow.”

Speaking on The Louis Theroux Podcast, when asked whether he would repeat the moment, Bobby answered: “Oh yeah. Like what if I was to go on Glastonbury again tomorrow, yes I would do it again.

“I’m not regretful of it. I’d do it again tomorrow, twice on Sundays.”

Bobby, whose real name is Pascal Robinson-Foster, said the backlash they experienced was “minimal compared to what people in Palestine are going through.”

In a conversation recorded before the ceasefire in Gaza began on October 10, he continued: “I don’t want to overstate the importance of the chant.

That’s not what I’m trying to do, but if I have their support, they’re the people that I’m doing it for, they’re the people that I’m being vocal for, then what is there to regret? Oh, because I’ve upset some right-wing politician or some right-wing media?

It wasn’t like we came off stage, and everybody was like [gasps]. It’s just normal.

We come off stage. It’s normal. Nobody thought anything. Nobody. Even staff at the BBC were like ‘That was fantastic! We loved that!’ ”

Bobby also downplayed the significance of the chant itself, saying: “What is important is the conditions that exist to allow that chant to even take place on that stage.

And I mean, the conditions that exist in Palestine.

Where the Palestinian people are being killed at an alarming rate. Who cares about the chant?”

After the Glastonbury performance, Bob Vylan, which also includes drummer Bobbie Vylan (real name Wade Laurence George), were dropped by their agency UTA and had their US visas revoked, forcing them to cancel their North American tour.
