Overview

• Industry reports say David Levy, a WME agent, was the first signatory on an email urging Glastonbury to drop Kneecap over alleged support for Hamas and Hezbollah at Coachella.
• The email, marked private and confidential, was leaked, and sources say some signatories faced professional fallout as perceptions of their positions spread within the industry.
• Dua Lipa has been publicly supportive of Palestinian causes, including a 2024 Instagram post and a May 2025 appeal to the UK government to halt arms sales to Israel.
• Kneecap performed at Glastonbury as scheduled, and Avon and Somerset Police opened investigations into pro-Palestine performances that Exclaim! reports did not result in charges.
• Kneecap member Mo Chara faces a UK terrorism charge over an alleged Hezbollah flag incident, with a court hearing due at the end of this month.
