Overview

• The Featured Artists Coalition and the Musicians’ Union criticized the new streaming policy as an arbitrary measure that could stifle free expression at festivals.
• Avon and Somerset Police continue criminal investigations into Bob Vylan’s and Irish rap group Kneecap’s Glastonbury performances for potential public order offences.
• Bob Vylan lost agency representation and had US visas revoked but saw their album “Humble As The Sun” re-enter multiple UK charts following the controversy.
• Public Enemy’s Chuck D defended the duo’s chants as a metaphorical call against imperialism rather than a literal threat of violence.
