This year's Glastonbury festival ended with significant controversy, primarily due to the performance of the Belfast rap group Kneecap, who faced calls for removal from the lineup due to their pro-Palestinian stance and a member's terror charge. Despite this, they performed to a supportive crowd, leading to political backlash and statements from various figures, including Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The festival also saw earlier controversy from the duo Bob Vylan, who led chants supporting Palestine, prompting further criticism from the Israeli Embassy and calls for accountability from the BBC.
