Controversial Comments by Bob Villain in Amsterdam

During a recent performance in Amsterdam, British artist Bob Villain reportedly laughed at the death of Charlie Kirk, urging fans to confront “fascists” and “Zionists.” This performance took place at the sold-out Paradiso Concert Club, where the duo escalated their earlier radical rhetoric, having led the chant “Death to IDF” at Glastonbury Festival in June.

On stage, singer Bobby Billan, whose real name is Pascal Robinson Foster, made a chilling joke, asking, “Are there any snipers in the hall?” This comment was a clear reference to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, who was shot at an event in Utah earlier in the week, as reported by the Telegraaf.

Villain continued his diatribe, dedicating a song to what he described as a “real shit guy.” His performance also included criticism of an anti-migrant/free speech rally held in London, stating that his music aims to inspire a “revolution.”

During the concert, the duo displayed a Palestinian flag and included the chant “Death, Death to IDF” in their set. The singer paused several times throughout, drawing attention and controversy.

Following their Glastonbury appearance, British police initiated an investigation into the band. Subsequently, the group was dropped by their management, and their visas to the U.S. were revoked under Trump’s administration.

In light of Kirk’s assassination, the U.S. State Department has warned about individuals who promote violence and hatred, stating they are unwelcome in the country. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau emphasized the importance of reporting such comments to ensure American safety.
