“We have been made aware that Bob Vylan is scheduled to perform on the 5th and 6th July at the Victoria Warehouse in Manchester.

The fallout from his appalling, hate filled concert at Glastonbury has shocked the Jewish community. Whilst appreciating the importance of artistic freedom, this individual now has a history of openly inciting violence against Jewish and Israeli people. It should be noted that those showing solidarity with Jewish or Israeli artists cancelled by venues for no reason has been in precious short supply from those who have championed Bob Vylan or Kneecap.

We call on the Victoria Warehouse to cancel the performance given the legitimate concerns we have that this platform will be used to further promote hate speech.”
