United Talent Agency have moved quickly to drop Bob Vylan after the British punk duo led 200,000 people at Glastonbury in chants of ‘Free Palestine’ and ‘Death to the IDF’ on the weekend.
Predictably, UTA executives have decided to part ways Bob Vylan – made up of frontman Bobby Vylan and drummer Bobbie Vylan – after assessing what happened on stage.
As the BBC busied themselves with keeping Kneecap off air, Bob Vylan took to the stage, complained about working for a “f***ing Zionist”, and then started the chants that have made headline news around the country.

The BBC literally didn’t know what to do, and earlier today admitted that they ‘regret’ the decision to air Bob Vylan’s set, and that they ‘should have pulled the stream’ instead of allowing the broadcast to continue.
It looks as though United Talent Agency share the sentiments of the BBC, Keir Starmer and the establishment in general, and have scrubbed the band from their agency website. However, they have declined to comment directly on the situation.
Meanwhile, Bob Vylan took to Instagram to double down:
All in all, I don’t think Bob Vylan will be too disappointed by this. Yeah, they’ve lost their management, but people actually know who they are now, even if a lot of those people are losing their minds about what happened at Glastonbury.
Besides if I was Bob Vylan, I’d probably be more concerned with the investigation being carried out by Avon and Somerset police, and all the influential people who could determine how that plays out in the end.
What’s truly amazing is how the BBC allowed this to happen in the first place, given how paranoid they are about this sort of thing? They were too focused on censoring Kneecap and basically gave Bob Vylan an open goal to say steal the show and say something controversial. Surely their researchers would know that Bob Vylan is an extremely political band that has said things like “dig up Maggie”, “lynch your leaders” and “storm Downing Street”?
Another L for the BBC, I suppose…
