Bob Vylan Mocks Charlie Kirk Killing at Amsterdam Show, Triggering Venue Pledge to Cooperate With Prosecutors

Fresh video has renewed scrutiny of the duo after earlier sanctions over a Glastonbury chant, with Paradiso saying it will cooperate if the Dutch public prosecutor opens a case.

Overview

  • At a sold-out Paradiso concert on Sept. 13, frontman Pascal Robinson‑Foster referred to Charlie Kirk as a “piece of s***,” joked that his pronouns were “was/were,” and said “if you chat s***, you will get banged.”
  • Reports from the show quote him urging confrontation with political opponents—“kick Nazis in their face” and “go find [fascists and Zionists] on the street”—as a Palestinian flag hung on stage.
  • The set included multiple renditions of a song featuring the chant “Death to the IDF,” echoing the duo’s Glastonbury remarks that have been condemned by politicians and community groups.
  • Paradiso issued a statement defending artistic freedom but distancing the venue from the language, adding it will cooperate with the Openbaar Ministerie if asked to investigate possible offences.
  • The new footage has fueled complaints and political backlash, reviving attention on earlier actions including U.S. visa revocations, BBC apologies and policy changes, and a UK police evidence review.
