US revokes visas for Bob Vylan over Glastonbury ‘death to IDF’ chant: ‘Not welcome’
The United States has revoked visas for British punk-rap duo Bob Vylan following controversial chants at the Glastonbury festival over the weekend.
US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau announced the decision on Monday, stating that “foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country.”
The visa revocation comes after Bob Vylan led festival-goers in chants calling for “death to the IDF” during their performance. The incident has sparked significant backlash since the weekend.
According to Landau, the band’s visas were revoked because of “their hateful tirade at Glastonbury.” The decision will affect Bob Vylan’s planned tour of the United States later this year.
