Following the launch of the investigation, Bob Vylan frontman Bobby Vylan took to social media, showing himself holding a cup of ice cream.
“While zionists are crying on socials, I’ve just had a tub of (vegan) ice cream,” he wrote on his Instagram Story.
Meanwhile, Glastonbury festival organisers have slammed the band for the chants against the Israeli army.
“As a festival, we stand against all forms of war and terrorism. We will always believe in – and actively campaign for – hope, unity, peace and love. With almost 4,000 performances at Glastonbury 2025, there will inevitably be artists and speakers appearing on our stages whose views we do not share, and a performer’s presence here should never be seen as a tacit endorsement of their opinions and beliefs,” a post on the festival’s Instagram page read.
“However, we are appalled by the statements made from the West Holts stage by Bob Vylan yesterday,” it added.
