  • Irish rap trio Kneecap will face no further action from Avon and Somerset Police following an investigation into their Glastonbury performance.
  • Police concluded there was "insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction for any offence" after reviewing video and audio recordings.
  • The investigation was launched in June after officers examined footage from both Kneecap's and punk duo Bob Vylan's sets at the festival.
  • Avon and Somerset Police confirmed they are still investigating comments made by rapper Bobby Vylan, who led chants of, "Death, death to the IDF".
  • A Kneecap member had joked about fans starting a riot at a bandmate's upcoming court appearance related to a terrorism charge, later clarifying it was for "love and support, and support for Palestine".
