Wet Leg's Rhian Teasdale Speaks Out on Kneecap and Bob Vylan Glastonbury Controversy

  • Wet Leg's Rhian Teasdale criticized the post-Glastonbury reactions to Kneecap and Bob Vylan's controversial festival sets on July 5, 2025.
  • The controversy arose after Kneecap and Bob Vylan expressed pro-Palestine views and provoked political backlash, including police investigations and calls for bans.
  • Teasdale noted that numerous other performers, including Wolf Alice and CMAT, also expressed their solidarity with Palestine throughout the festival weekend, emphasizing the impact of artists using their platforms to speak out.
  • Bob Vylan stated that authorities are singling them out because of their outspoken views, while police reviewed videos of their Glastonbury performances to assess whether any legal breaches took place.
  • Teasdale said calling out genocide "should be the absolute bare minimum," and the backlash suggests a troubling suppression of political expression among artists.
