The US authorities have revoked the visas of members of the Bob Vylan group over anti-Israeli statements made during their concert at the Glastonbury 2025 Festival. The Assistant Secretary of State stressed that glorifying violence is not acceptable, and the group's comments were criticized by British officials and festival organizers. Bob Vylan and Kneecap, another controversial group, had concerts planned in the US, but backlash to their statements could affect those events.
