GLASTONBURY, ENGLAND – JUNE 28: Bob Vylan performs on the West Holts stage during day four of Glastonbury Festival 2025 at Worthy Farm, Pilton on June 28, 2025 in Glastonbury, England. Avon and Somerset Police have announced that they have launched a criminal investigation into the performances of Bob Vylan and also of the Irish-language rap band Kneecap who are known for making pro-Palestinian and political comments during their live performances and have attracted controversy in the past. Established by Michael Eavis in 1970, Glastonbury has grown into the UK's largest music festival, drawing over 200,000 fans to enjoy performances across more than 100 stages. In 2026, the festival will take a fallow year, a planned pause to allow the Worthy Farm site time to rest and recover.
