The State Department revoked the visas for the members of the Bob Vylan Band, after the British duo Punk-Rap called to “Death to the IDF” during a performance on Saturday at the Glastonbury Music Festival in England.

The Bob Vylan group, made up of two musicians with the stage names Bobby Vylan and Bobbie Vylan, is expected to tour in the United States later in 2025. But the State Department announced on Monday that it had drawn visas for the members of the group after the group led songs for the end of the Defense forces of Israel.

“Bob Vylan’s visas have been dismissed,” a head of the State Department official told Fox News. “The Secretary of State has been clear – the United States will not take visas for terrorist sympathizers.”

Meanwhile, Bobby Vylan seemed to double his statements during the performance of Glastonbury, and wrote in an article on social networks on Sunday: “I said what I said.”

“It is incredibly important that we encourage and inspire future generations to take the torch that has been transmitted to us,” said Bobby Vylan in an Instagram post on Sunday. “Let us display it strongly and obviously the right thing to do when we want and we need to change. Let them see us walking in the streets, campaign in the ground level, organize online and cry about this at each stage that is offered to us.”

Meanwhile, the BBC published a press release on Monday for continuing to disseminate the performance of Bob Vylan live and condemned anti -Semitic songs during the performance.

“The team was dealing with a live situation, but with hindsight, we should have drawn the flow during the performance. We regret that this did not happen,” the BBC said in a statement on Monday. “The BBC respects freedom of expression, but is firmly standing against incentive to violence. The anti -Semitic feelings expressed by Bob Vylan were completely unacceptable and have no room on our waves.”
