UK punk rap duo Bob Vylan have had the remainder of their gigs cancelled after their frontman made a controversial comment about Charlie Kirk’s murder during his performance.

A clip from the band’s performance at Amsterdam’s Club Paradiso last Saturday went viral – in which the band’s frontman hit out at Charlie Kirk.

The comments came after Kirk was fatally shot in the neck last week at a speaking engagement Utah.

Bob Vylan, who led chants of “death to the IDF” at Glastonbury and are still being investigated by Avon and Somerset Police, released a response to claims online that they were celebrating Kirk’s death.

Reacting to the incident in a video on X, Bob Vylan frontman said: “At no point during yesterday’s show was Charlie Kirk’s death celebrated. “I did call him a piece of s***. That much is true. But at no point was his death celebrated.’’

“If it was, go find me a quote… that proves that we were celebrating his death. You’re not gonna find it, because it didn’t happen.”

He ended the video by telling people to “calm down”.

In a statement, the 013 said the band’s most recent statements went “too far”.

“While we understand that these statements were made in the context of punk and activism, and that the reporting on them is sometimes less nuanced than what actually happened, we still believe these new statements go too far,” read the statement.

“They no longer fall within the scope of what we can offer a platform.”

The venue said it had initially decided to let them perform “despite the controversy that arose after their Glastonbury performance”.

It added that it was also because the duo clarified in a statement that the chant was “not an antisemitic slogan, but rather criticism of the Israeli army”.
