The BBC faced criticism for its changes to live music coverage after Bob Vylan's controversial performance at Glastonbury, resulting in a decision to not broadcast high-risk performances live. This decision followed governmental pressure after Vylan led chants during his set that went uncut on a livestream. Although there are calls for disciplinary actions within the BBC, industry insiders expressed concerns about overreactions and emphasized the importance of free speech for artists. The Featured Artists Coalition underscored the BBC's vital role in supporting British music and called for measured responses moving forward.
