Bob Vylan issues statement after being dropped from festival lineups
Following the performance, Bob Vylan was removed from the lineups of multiple European festivals, including Radar Festival in Manchester and Kave Fest in France.
The band was also reportedly dropped by their agent, United Talent Agency, and had their US visas revoked by American officials.
Glastonbury organisers stated they were 'appalled' by the chants, while the BBC later said it 'should have pulled' the live coverage of the performance.
Bob Vylan responded on Instagram by claiming they are being 'targeted for speaking up' and that the controversy is a 'distraction' from the issue of a 'violent military machine'.

Oasis to play first gig in almost 16 years in Cardiff
Oasis will kickstart their long-awaited worldwide reunion tour in Cardiff on Friday, their first concert in almost 16 years. Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher will perform together for the first time since their dramatic split in 2009, when they appear at the Welsh capital's Principality Stadium.

Former members of the group are expected to make a return, with Andy Bell on bass, and Gem Archer and Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs on guitars. Noel was spotted getting off the train in Cardiff on Tuesday, while a drone display spelling out the band's name could be seen over the stadium on Wednesday. Advertisement Fans across the city have also heard what they believe to be rehearsals in the Principality throughout the week. The reunion announcement came 15 years after Noel quit the Britpop band, saying he 'simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer,' following a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. While fans have been pleading for the group to reunite since they disbanded, website issues and controversial dynamic pricing brought outrage, with many failing to secure a spot. After tickets for the UK and Ireland shows went on sale last year, some standard tickets appeared to have jumped from €150 to over €400.

Following Cardiff, Oasis will visit Manchester's Heaton Park, London's Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin's Croke Park throughout July, August and September. The group will then head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America. A movie, produced by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, is being made in conjunction with the reunion tour.

The reunion comes 15 years after Noel Gallagher quit the band, claiming he could no longer work with brother Liam Gallagher. Photo: Zak Hussein/PA Oasis signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993, rising to fame with the release of their debut chart-topping album Definitely Maybe on August 29 1994. They had hits with songs including Don't Look Back in Anger, Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall and Live Forever. Dig Out Your Soul, the band's last studio album, was released in 2008, just months before the Paris row. Advertisement
