Ofcom have said they are “very concerned” about BBC’s broadcast of Bob Vylan’s Glastonbury set.
The broadcasting regulator said that the corporation “clearly has questions to answer”.
An Ofcom spokesperson has stated: “We are very concerned about the live stream of this performance, and the BBC clearly has questions to answer. We have been speaking to the BBC over the weekend and we are obtaining further information as a matter of urgency, including what procedures were in place to ensure compliance with its own editorial guidelines.”
Punk duo Bob Vylan previously shared a defiant statement regarding their Glasto set after they finished performing on Saturday 28 June.
During their set at the West Holts stage, member Bobby Vylan led chants of: “Free, free Palestine” and: “Death, death to the IDF,” which has prompted police to review footage of the show.

Bobby later took to Instagram to say that he had received both “support and hatred” following the set, but stands by what he said and called for a shift in foreign policy.
In the post, captioned: “I said what I said,” Bobby wrote: “As I lay in bed this morning, my phone buzzing non stop, inundated with messages of both support and hatred, l listen to my daughter typing out loud as she fills out a school survey asking for her feedback on the current state of her school dinners.”
Bobby explained that his daughter “expressed that she would like healthier meals, more options and dishes inspired by other parts of the world”.

The artist said that listening to his child “voice her opinions on a matter that she cares about” reminded him that “we may not be doomed after all”.
He continued: “Teaching our children to speak up for the change they want and need is the only way that we make this world a better place. As we grow older and our fire possibly starts to dim under the suffocation of adult life and all its responsibilities, it is incredibly important that we encourage and inspire future generations to pick up the torch that was passed to us.”

“Let us display to them loudly and visibly the right thing to do when we want and need change. Let them see us marching in the streets, campaigning on ground level, organising online and shouting about it on any and every stage that we are offered.”
Bobby closed his post by saying: “Today it is a change in school dinners, tomorrow it is a change in foreign policy.”
