After yesterday’s controversies at Glastonbury with Kneecap’s chants of “fuck Keir Starmer,” and Bob Vylan’s calls to “Kill the IDF” - which is now being investigated by police and has prompted a condemnation of the band from Glastonbury itself which stated, there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence” - Nadine Shah took to the stage on Sunday lunchtime with a backdrop displaying images of a devastated Gaza and ended the set by playing voice notes from Palestinian children, many simply saying, “I’m still alive.” Shah was in tears as these played.
The singer has been a vocal supporter of Kneecap throughout the recent Terrorism charges brought against their singer Mo Chara for allegedly voicing support for Hamas and Hezbollah during a gig last year. She also recently posted ‘Fuck the BBC’ on her Instagram page, and explaining it was because they had pulled the broadcast of a documentary called Gaza: Medics Under Fire.
