British police close investigation into Kneecap's Glastonbury chants without charges.

British police will not take action against the Irish rap group Kneecap following an investigation into its members' comments during a performance at the Glastonbury music festival last month.

Police had launched a criminal investigation into the concerts by Kneecap and punk-rap duo Bob Vylan, which took place back-to-back at Glastonbury's West Holts Stage on the fourth day of the festival, from June 25 to 29.

In May, a Kneecap member was charged with terrorism for allegedly displaying a flag of Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militant group banned as a terrorist organization in Britain, at a previous concert. He denies the offense.

At Glastonbury, the Belfast-based group led chants against Prime Minister Keir Starmer , while Bob Vylan's performance included chants of "death to the Israel Defense Forces," a reference to the Israeli military.

Avon and Somerset Police said on Friday that they decided to drop the investigation after consulting with the Crown Prosecution Service. "Following this recommendation, we have decided not to take any further action, as there is insufficient evidence to offer a realistic prospect of conviction for any crime," they said in their statement.

Police said their investigation into Bob Vylan's set is ongoing.

Kneecap claimed the investigation is politically motivated. "Everyone who saw our set knew that no laws had been broken, not even remotely... yet the police saw fit to publicly announce the opening of an investigation," the group stated on Instagram.
