A British punk band under investigation for chanting “death, death to the IDF” at Glastonbury Festival asked fans not to do the same amid ongoing legal woes.

Bob Vylan found themselves in the spotlight after their chants against the Israel Defense Forces, which also included a complaint of working for a “fucking Zionist”, featured in the BBC’s coverage of the famous, UK-based music festival.

But at a gig on Wednesday at Central London’s 100 Club, their first gig since Glastonbury, frontman Pascal Robinson-Foster, who also goes by the name of Bobby Vylan, asked the crowd not to repeat the chants as they would get “in trouble”.

The band are currently being investigated by police (along with Irish rap trio Kneecap who led chants of “fuck Kier Starmer”) and they have been dropped from several shows, including in France and Germany.

The band gained international attention when U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said their American visas had been revoked. The group had a U.S. tour planned for the fall.

At the 100 Club, some fans started to repeat the chant of “death, death to the IDF”, according to a video from the show posted by the London Standard news outlet. Robinson-Foster shut the chants down, saying: “You are going to get me in trouble, apparently every other chant is fine but yous [sic] will get me in trouble.” He then led the crowd in singing “free, free Palestine.”

The controversy has done wonders for sales. The band’s last album — “Humble As The Sun” — released in April — has gone to the number one spot on the U.K. Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums Chart.

The IDF has been accused of committing war crimes during its long-running military assault in Gaza, which it launched in October 2023 in response to an attack by Hamas militants in Israel.
