Bob Vylan: hate speech has no place at Glastonbury or in society

29 Jun 2025

Responding to Bob Vylan's performance at Glastonbury on Saturday, Liberal Democrat Culture, Media and Sport Spokesperson Max Wilkinson MP said: 

"Bob Vylan's chants at Glastonbury yesterday were appalling. Cultural events are always a place for debate, but hate speech, antisemitism and incitements to violence have no place at Glastonbury or anywhere in our society.

"Everyone has a responsibility to use language and public platforms carefully."
