Lorna Clarke, the BBC music director, has stepped down amid backlash over Bob Vylan's controversial performance at Glastonbury 2025. The UK culture secretary, Lisa Nandy, criticized the BBC for not pulling the livestream after Vylan's inflammatory comments. The BBC apologized for broadcasting the performance, calling it 'offensive and deplorable', and announced it would no longer air 'high risk' performances. Bob Vylan faces criminal investigation and has been dropped from festivals and their agents, while they defend their comments as a call for change.
