Organizers of the Glastonbury Festival expressed strong disapproval on Sunday over remarks made by the punk duo Bob Vylan during their Saturday performance, describing the chants—such as “Death to the IDF” and “Free Palestine”—as having clearly crossed a line. In a statement shared via Instagram, the festival and its organizer Emily Eavis emphasized that Glastonbury has no tolerance for antisemitism, hate speech, or incitement to violence, and noted that urgent reminders were being issued to all those involved in the festival’s production.
Bob Vylan, a punk duo from London, came to be known for their distinctive blend of grime, punk rock, and hip hop. Formed in 2017 by vocalist-guitarist Bobby Vylan and drummer Bobbie Vylan, the band quickly established itself with a debut performance held just two weeks after their formation
While both members use stage names to maintain their privacy in face of what they describe as a surveillance state and collectively refer to themselves as “the Bobs, according to social media users, the real name of singer Bobby Vylan is Pascal Robinson-Foster, he is aged 34 and lives in Ipswich, and is sole director of two companies.
They formed in Ipswich in 2017 and their musical style is a mix of punk, rap, and hard rock and have released three albums – We Live Here (2020), Bob Vylan Presents The Price Of Life (2022), and last year’s Humble As The Sun – and their music has won them awards including best alternative act at the MOBOs in 2022, and best album at the Kerrang Awards in the same year.

While the Foster surname is of English origin, derived from the occupation of “forester” or “keeper of the forest”, it is not inherently associated with any specific religion but Pascal could be a Christian.

During a recent performance at Glastonbury, one of the vocalists from the hip hop duo Bob Vylan, Bobby Vylan drew widespread criticism after repeatedly chanting “Death to the IDF” and urging the crowd to echo the phrase. UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) later identified the performer as Pascal Robinson-Foster, a 34-year-old from Ipswich, and reported him to Avon and Somerset Police, alleging violations of the Public Order Act 1986.
UKLFI asserted that Robinson-Foster’s language may have constituted threatening and abusive behavior likely to cause alarm or distress. The organization also criticized the BBC for broadcasting the performance without any censorship, arguing that the decision enabled the dissemination of hate speech. A spokesperson likened the chanting to dangerous historical precedents, expressing concern over how easily the crowd had been influenced.
UKLFI further disclosed Robinson-Foster’s directorship of two companies—Ghost Theatre Ltd and Lavy Hill Ltd—and described the performance as a calculated attempt to provoke controversy and attract attention. The group maintained that both the artist and the broadcaster had a responsibility to prevent the spread of inflammatory rhetoric.
Bobby aka Pascal’s height and relationship details aren’t known.

Local police confirmed on Saturday that they had launched an investigation into the remarks made by both musical acts, aiming to assess whether any of the statements might constitute criminal offenses under British law, which operates under different standards for free speech compared to the United States. The controversy unfolded just hours before another incident prompted swift action: Irish trio Kneecap had their set partially removed from the BBC’s live coverage after they launched into a chant targeting British Prime Minister Keir Starmer with explicit language.
The BBC: try to ban Kneecap and when that fails refuse to air the set.
