Bob Vylan announce 100 Club gig amid post-Glastonbury police investigations
The Ipswich-formed duo, who are completed by drummer Bobbie Vylan, are also being investigated by the Met Police for alleged comments in a video of their performance supporting Iggy Pop at Alexandra Palace in May.
A post shared by Bob Vylan (@bobbyvylan)
In the video, Vylan appears to say: 'Death to every single IDF soldier out there as an agent of terror for Israel. Death to the IDF.'
The new show at the venue in London's Oxford Street was announced in a short Instagram post, which saw them tell followers: 'We play 100 Club tonight. On sale now.'
Following their Glastonbury performance, the band have had their US visas revoked, ahead of their US tour later this year, were pulled from their Saturday headline slot at Radar festival in Manchester, and from an upcoming performance at a German music venue.
Their agency United Talent Agency (UTA) has also reportedly dropped them following the comments, and appears to have removed the act from their official website.
The group issued a statement last week claiming they were being 'targeted for speaking up'.
Footage from a performance in Athens, Greece, last week saw Vylan tell the audience: 'We are not generally hateful people, but we do hate war, and we do hate injustice, and I think a lot of people out there hate it too.'
He added: 'We will continue to fly that beautiful Palestinian flag, and nobody anywhere in the world will tell us that we are not allowed to.
'And we will not allow anybody to tell us that we're hateful people for flying that flag.'
Bob Vylan are still expected to perform at the Boardmasters surfing and music festival in Newquay, Cornwall, in August.
According to reports in The Times, the BBC's director of music Lorna Clarke was among a group of senior staff who have stepped back from their day-to-day roles after controversy over the broadcaster's decision to show Bob Vylan's set live.
Their Glastonbury Festival set came directly before Irish rap trio Kneecap performed on the West Holts Stage.
The group, made up of Liam Og O hAnnaidh, JJ O Dochartaigh and Naoise O Caireallain, are also seeing their Glastonbury set investigated by police.
Their performance saw one of the band's members joke that fans should 'start a riot' outside his bandmate's upcoming court appearance, and led crowds in chants of 'F*** Keir Starmer', after the British Prime Minister claimed their appearance at the festival was 'not appropriate'.
O hAnnaidh, who performs as Mo Chara, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court in June charged with a terror offence and will return next month.
Formed in 2017, Bob Vylan are known for addressing political issues in their albums including racism, masculinity and class.

Influencers 'inches from death' after car slams into restaurant during live food review
Influencer couple Patrick Blackwood and Nina Santiago were recording a food review at a restaurant in Houston, Texas when a car reportedly slammed into the booth they were sitting at Two influencers renowned for their food reviews were struck by a vehicle whilst filming a segment on Saturday at a Houston, Texas eatery. Video footage captures Patrick Blackwood and Nina Santiago sampling their meals at CuVee's Culinary Creations when a car reportedly crashed through the glass window of their booth, smashing the pane, hurling the influencers forward, and causing Santiago to tumble from her seat. The motorist informed police that she thought her vehicle was in park before removing her foot from the brake, causing the car to plough into the restaurant, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office. "The chef, influencers, guests, and staff were all blessed to not be severely harmed," CuVee's Culinary Creations told NBC News. "We appreciate the love and support." The footage was uploaded to the YouTube channel Unrated EX Files with the incident occurring approximately 10:35 minutes into the recording, reports the Mirror US. The vlog subsequently shows both influencers inside the ambulance and at the medical facility. "Still here," Blackwood said in the video. "Um, I'm OK now, heart rate's regulated. The realization just hit...I was not expecting this bulls*** right here. But um, I'm glad I'm alive." Whilst awaiting stitches, Santiago revealed this marked the second accident they had experienced this month. "This is the second accident this month," Santiago stated. "The fact that we walked away from both accidents ... maybe I'm just delusional right now but I'm just like, it's like I want to break down and cry and I just can't." Both shared pictures displaying their wounds on Instagram, with the snaps showing the pair sporting stitches and staples across their gashes. "Hey everyone, it's @NinaUnrated and @PatrickBlackwood here, and we can't even begin to express how incredibly fortunate we feel to be alive after what happened to us. We were just sitting in a cozy booth at our favorite restaurant, enjoying happy hour with an amazing spread salmon sliders, presidential oysters, a macaroni and cheese flight (classic, lobster, and truffle), shrimp and grits, and some refreshing drinks," Unrated EX Files stated on Youtube in the video's description. "We were laughing, having a great time, and right as we tapped our sliders together in a "boom!" cheers moment, out of nowhere, this SUV came barreling through the glass wall at 35-40 mph. No warning at all glass shattered everywhere, chaos erupted, and it hit right next to Patrick on the outside of the booth. We were inches from disaster, but by some miracle, we're both okay, just shaken and forever changed." The social media stars returned to the eatery following the drama to grab a bite. "We came back just to make sure to have peace of mind, and also because the food is actually amazing," Santiago said.

Photo of Elle Macpherson confirms long-standing rumour about the model
A recent photo of Elle Macpherson has confirmed a long-standing rumour about the model's hair. The 61-year-old posted a series of holiday snaps to Instagram on Tuesday and one image appears to confirm that Elle wears hair extensions to add volume to her locks. The photo shows Elle walking through a European city in a brown shirt and matching skirt. She had her long blonde locks tied into a messy bun but as she looked down, one of her hair extension bonds was visible. The clip-in extension was noticeable on the top of her head as she pulled her locks back. Hollywood stars and models often wear wigs and hair extensions to achieve a more youthful appearance as hair thins and loses volume with age. Elle is renowned for her radiant, luscious locks and youthful complexion. She previously revealed how she protects her hair when she's not working with the best in the beauty business. From ditching the hot tools to protecting her locks from the harsh sun, Elle shared her top five tips for optimal health hair on her Get The Gloss column. She said she is a big believer that eating well and having a healthy gut plays a crucial role in keeping hair thick and luscious. 'The gut plays a crucial role in nutrient absorption,' she said. 'The combination of botanical herbs, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and probiotics that feature in The Super Elixir™ and The Hair Elixir [from WelleCo] will keep your gut microbiome, and in turn your hair, healthy.' Elle also explained it's best to put the hot tools down and keep hair natural as much as possible. Elle also said it's important to protect hair from the sun and believes this is key to keeping her hair silky and healthy. When she is out in the sun and the sea, she uses hydrating and protecting masks. In colder climates, the supermodel wears her hair in braids with a leave-in mask to ensure UV protection and hydration. And one of Elle's biggest tips for healthier hair is a well-looked-after scalp. She likes to give herself a gentle scalp massage with a natural oil like coconut, almond, or jojoba to improve blood circulation and stimulate hair growth.
