The BBC has admitted it should have ended the live stream of punk-rap duo Bob Vylan’s set at Glastonbury after they led chants of “Death, death to the IDF.”
The broadcaster described those chants as “utterly unacceptable” and announcers regret not pulling the feed sooner.
BBC executives stated they issued an on-screen warning in real time but conceded that wasn’t enough.
Ofcom is investigating the incident while police assess whether criminal offences occurred.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and Glastonbury organisers condemned the performance.
US officials are reportedly considering visa restrictions for the duo.
