The punk band Bob Vylan has now officially been dropped by the talent agency UTA following the comments being made during their Glastonbury set.
During the performance, the band led a pro-Palestine chant with their crowd, proclaiming “death to the IDF”. Following comments from the festival staff as well as various politicians, UTA has announced their decision to part ways with the group.
Insiders have said that UTA senior executives agreed with the festival, saying that the band had taken their political beliefs too far when making their comments. Despite not coming out with any official statement, all images and information relating to the musical duo have been wiped from the company’s website.
The BBC continued in a statement, “The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves. We welcome Glastonbury’s condemnation of the performance.”
People need to start aggressively buying merch from these guys. Show the agency what they’re losing.
https://bobvylan.myshopify.com/ this one right? Will order something at least
How in the fuck is “death to the IDF” anti-semitic? At no point was the chant directed towards jews. They were protesting against a military machine that is being employed in apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide.
It’s not. The media constantly willingly confuse anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. One is awful, the other a virtue.
If Israel is the “victim” then they are “Jews”. And “The Jewish State”
If Israel is the perpetrator then it is the "secular only democracy in the Middle East.
Streaming them now. Nice one Bob Vylan!
The antisemitic sentiments
Yeah fuck all the way off and face the wall please.
