[IsraelTimes] Officers hold voluntary interview with a man in his mid-30s as part of inquiries into ‘public order incident,’ when rap group Bob Vylan led anti-Israel chorus from stage

British police said on Tuesday they were continuing to investigate comments made on stage during a performance by duo Bob Vylan at Glastonbury music festival in June over derogatory chanting about the Israeli military.

Avon and Somerset Police said they had held a voluntary police interview with a man in his mid-30s to help progress their inquiries.

"The matter has been recorded as a public order incident while we continue to investigate and consider all relevant legislation," Avon and Somerset Police said.

The performance by Bob Vylan, a duo whose stage names are Bobby Vylan and Bobbie Vylan, both thought to be in their mid-30s, included onstage chants of "Death, death to the IDF," a reference to the Israel Defense Forces, then heavily involved in fighting the Hamas

The performance was condemned by Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Israeli Embassy in London, while the BBC was criticized for not stopping its livestreaming of the set.

Days later, British police said they had opened an investigation into Bob Vylan’s behavior, and that of Irish-language band Kneecap, which also called for "death" to the Israeli military at the music festival.

Bob Vylan is known for mixing grime and punk rock, and its songs tackle a range of issues including racism, homophobia, and the class divide.

The US State Department said at the time it had revoked the US visas for the two members of Bob Vylan after their "hateful tirade at Glastonbury."
