Bobby Vylan has recently participated in an in-depth interview on The Louis Theroux Podcast, where he addressed the controversies of the last few weeks and months. Bob Vylan, consisting of Bobby Vylan and Bobbie Vylan, has been vocal in their support for Palestinian solidarity. However, their performance at Glastonbury earlier this year placed them at the center of international debate. During the performance, Bobby Vylan led the audience in chanting "Death to the IDF," which ignited political controversy both domestically and internationally. As a result of the incident, the band lost their live agents, and the performance elicited apologies from the BBC and Glastonbury, as well as prompting a police investigation. Now, Bobby Vylan has discussed the performance and its consequences in detail on The Louis Theroux Podcast. When asked if he would repeat the action, he answered, "If I were to perform at Glastonbury again tomorrow, yes, I would do it again. I don’t regret it. I would do it again tomorrow, twice on Sundays." Damon Albarn, the frontman of Blur, criticized the band's actions, labeling it as "a spectacular misfire." Bobby Vylan took offense to this, noting: "I just want to point out that to describe it as a spectacular misfire suggests that the band's politics or our position on Palestinian liberation is not carefully considered." Albarn also likened Bobby Vylan to "goose-stepping in tennis gear," a comment that the vocalist called "disgusting." "As a more experienced and established artist – he has been in the industry for quite some time – I believe there were more appropriate ways for him to address that question. I take significant issue with the term 'goose-stepping' because it is strictly associated with Nazi Germany. For him to use that language is, in my opinion, disgusting." The Community Security Trust reported a notable increase in anti-Semitic incidents following Bob Vylan's performance at Glastonbury, a claim that Bobby Vylan contests: "I don’t believe I created an unsafe environment for the Jewish community. If there were a significant number of people claiming ‘Bob Vylan made me do this,’ then I might think, oof, I’ve had a negative impact here." Three months after that controversial Glastonbury performance, Bobby Vylan, the frontman of the MOBO award-winning duo, appears on TLTP to discuss his politics, music, life, Chuck D, UK supermarkets, and what was going through his mind when he initiated the chant that generated countless headlines.

      A dark and ominous return from the Irish band...

      21 · 10 · 2025

      Cardinals have released their new single ‘The Burning Of Cork’.

      The band’s upcoming debut album ‘Masquerade’ was finalized with producer Shrink at RAK Studios in London, taking Cardinals to some shadowy depths.

      The new single ‘The Burning Of Cork’ is now available, featuring a haunting composition that resonates with aggression. The title alludes to a grim chapter in Irish history, when British military auxiliaries, known as the Black and Tans, carried out brutal reprisals against the citizens of Cork during the Irish War of Independence.

      An intense and electrifying piece of music, it evokes elements of Nick Cave’s style in certain moments.

      Frontman Euan Manning remarks...

      “The song is named after the terror inflicted upon Cork City by the British Army’s Black and Tan forces in December 1920. It represents the record at its darkest and most sinister.”

      The intense music video is directed by Greg Purcell – check it out below.

      ‘Masquerade’ will be available on February 13th – pre-order it here.
