Deep Dive: Punk-rap duo Bob Vylan and Irish rap group Kneecap are under criminal investigation over their performances at Glastonbury. It comes after Bob Vylan frontman Pascal Robinson-Foster led chants of “Death, death to the IDF”, referring to the Israeli Defense Force and Kneecap followed with an incendiary performance, leading the crowd in chants of “fuck [British Prime Minister] Keir Starmer.”

The BBC has expressed regret for not cutting its live stream of Bob Vylan’s set, describing the remarks as containing “utterly unacceptable” antisemitic sentiments. The US announced it was revoking visas for the band.

In this episode of The Briefing, Helen Smith is joined by Dr Murray Lee, professor of criminology from the University of Sydney, to explore the boundaries of artistic expression and the legal implications of political speech on stage.
