"We deeply regret that these highly offensive images were presented on our stage and unequivocally apologise to anyone who attended the gig, and to the wider Jewish community. The content, which was used entirely without our knowledge, stands against all of our values."
"Acts of hatred, discrimination or prejudice of any kind are entirely unacceptable and have no place in our community or spaces."
"We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community and remain committed to ensuring that our spaces are places where everyone feels secure, respected and valued."
Antisemitic imagery, including what appeared to show the Star of David entwined with a swastika in the eyes of an image of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was displayed on stage during Primal Scream's performance of "Swastika Eyes". The venue, Roundhouse in Camden, apologised and said the content was used without their knowledge, condemning antisemitism. The Community Security Trust reported the band to police and called on the venue to take action. Primal Scream were performing a 25-year anniversary show for their album XTRMNTR; police and the band were approached for comment.
