Bob Vylan have had their US visas revoked over their "hateful tirade at Glastonbury", a Trump official has said.
It comes after the band were dropped by their talent agency following their anti-IDF chant at the music festival.
The BBC has said it regrets not pulling the live stream of the "unacceptable" Glastonbury set, with Ofcom saying the broadcaster had "questions to answer".
The corporation has faced mounting criticism over airing the performance on Glastonbury's West Holts Stage, during which the rap-punk duo's frontman Bobby Vylan led chants of, "free, free Palestine", and "death, death to the IDF [Israel Defence Forces]".
US deputy secretary of state Christopher Landau confirmed the US visas of Bob Vylan had been revoked ahead of a planned tour later this year.
"The (state department) has revoked the US visas for the members of the Bob Vylan band in light of their hateful tirade at Glastonbury, including leading the crowd in death chants," he posted on X.
"Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country."

The times they are a-changin’.
Good. We don’t need any more Jew Haters.
They mid-spelled Bob Dylan? What is this? Why is it a “they”?
They are a band. There are two of them.
It is a duo. Two guys named Bob and Bobbie.
FANTASTIC!
Even better, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni ordered the deportation of a Pakistani imam, Zulfiqar Khan, who had resided in Italy for 30 years. Khan was deported after authorities determined his sermons, which included calls to fight “infidels”, constituted a call to violence. This deportation was viewed by authorities as a justified response to protect national security and public safety by enforcing laws against rhetoric that could incite extremism.
She didn’t fool around. She ordered “deport” and it was done.
Bob Vylan is thinking — Damn Jews, first they $%^*% up Gaza and the Ayatollahs. Now they kill my USA tour, just when I am hot off of Glastonbury, and making the big bucks.

What kind of talent agency has acts that have no talent?
...and they ain’t bringing their idiot arses over to the USA to screw with our kids.
GOOD.
WOW, what a dearth of talent if these losers get a stage.
sounds like they could do a mideast tour
leave the dope at home
Those seem to be stage names. They apparently keep their real names private.
Supposedly a "Punk Rocker". Joe Strummer was a punk rocker, this dude couldn't carry his jock strap.
That is the LEAST of what he did. He played two vile, racist songs that call for white genocide and mock the entire idea of "England" and celebrate that the country will be taken over by minorities and migrants. He should be in prison, but instead they throw patriots like Tommy Robinson in solitary for months.
Shrug. The children and grandchildren of the useful idiots who were carrying pictures of Chairman Mao and waving Viet Cong flags in the 1960s, wearing Yassar Arafat headscarves and Che Guevara t-shirts in the 1970s, and cheering on the Iranian revolution and the Sandanistas in the 1980s. Western civilization has never lacked for moronic children who think the world would be a better place if they just tore everything down and started over with *their* vision of Utopia.
Don’t worry. I’m sure Roger Waters can help them sign with a new agent and a new record label.
I was hoping for this new today.
Two-tier....
