Police Drop Investigation Into Kneecap’s Glastonbury Performance After No Evidence Found

Police have announced that they will not pursue further action regarding Kneecap’s performance at Glastonbury, after reviewing the evidence and consulting with the Crown Prosecution Service. The Avon & Somerset force had launched an investigation into the Irish band’s show at the festival, including possible concerns over public order incidents, following comments made by punk-rap duo Bob Vylan. However, the force clarified that no sufficient evidence was found to warrant prosecution. Kneecap reacted to the decision by sharing a post on Instagram, reflecting on their historic performance and expressing frustration over the initial investigation, which was widely reported. The band criticized the public attention given to the case, emphasizing that no laws were broken during their set. They also expressed disappointment over the lack of a public apology or media statement from the police after the investigation was dropped. The force confirmed that they are still looking into Bob Vylan’s performance, which included controversial on-stage chants. Despite the media coverage, Kneecap remains defiant, promising to continue their efforts and stand up against perceived injustice.
