Tilburg Venue Cancels Bob Vylan Show Over Charlie Kirk Remarks in Amsterdam

Paradiso says it will cooperate with prosecutors if asked following complaints about the performance.

Overview

  • Video from Club Paradiso shows frontman Bobby Vylan dedicating a song to Charlie Kirk, calling him a “piece of s—,” saying “the pronouns was/were,” and asking if there were “any snipers in the room.”
  • Bob Vylan released a video denying they celebrated Kirk’s death, saying “at no point” was it celebrated, while acknowledging he called Kirk “a piece of s—.”
  • Poppodium 013 in Tilburg canceled the duo’s Tuesday, September 16 show, stating the artist’s statements “go too far” and no longer fit within what the venue can platform.
  • Paradiso said many attendees found the remarks harsh and offensive and stated it would cooperate with the Dutch public prosecution service should it investigate.
  • The Amsterdam clips have renewed consequences stemming from June’s Glastonbury set, which prompted a BBC apology, UTA to drop the act, U.S. visa revocations, and an ongoing Avon and Somerset Police inquiry.
