Bobby Vylan faces no further action over chant at Al Quds Day rally

Bobby Vylan Pascal RobinsonFoster IDF Police
  • The Metropolitan Police have confirmed that no further action will be taken against punk rapper Bobby Vylan, whose real name is Pascal Robinson-Foster, following an investigation into remarks he made at an Al Quds Day rally in London .
  • Early investigative advice was sought from the Crown Prosecution Service before officers decided to drop the case regarding Robinson-Foster, who chanted " death , death to the IDF" during his speech at the March demonstration.
  • Following the Met Police decision, the musician posted a statement on social media accusing the force of constant harassment and internal data sharing, whilst asserting that he would not be intimidated.
  • The artist previously sparked intense backlash after leading the same chant during a Glastonbury Festival set in June 2025, which prompted an apology from the BBC for livestreaming the act and resulted in cancelled festival bookings and a cancelled US tour.
  • Avon and Somerset Police also conducted a criminal investigation into the Glastonbury performance, which was dropped in December, with Robinson-Foster subsequently confirming he felt no regret over the chant.
