Punk rap duo dropped as headliners for Radar festival as police investigate anti-IDF chant at Glastonbury

Bob Vylan have been banned from playing a Manchester festival a day after they said they were being “targeted for speaking up” on Palestine during a controversial Glastonbury set.

The punk rap duo will no longer play the headline slot at Radar festival this weekend. The act is the subject of a police investigation for leading crowds in chants of “death, death to the IDF”, referring to the Israel Defense Forces.
