Overview
- High Court records show Phoenix Law filed defamation papers on Monday on behalf of Pascal Robinson‑Foster and drummer Wade Laurence George.
- The claim focuses on an RTÉ News item aired after the 28 June Glastonbury performance that, the band says, alleged the singer led antisemitic chants.
- Bob Vylan deny the allegation, saying their statements criticized the Israel Defence Forces and backed Palestinian self‑determination rather than targeting Jewish people.
- The Glastonbury set drew attention after a BBC livestream captured the chant "death, death to the IDF," which the band characterizes as political speech.
- RTÉ declined to comment on the case, and the Metropolitan Police said they will take no further action over chants at a London show after a voluntary interview in November.
