1. Wide of crowds with Palestinian and Irish flags
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Rory, festival-goer from Ireland:
"I love Kneecap, I'm Irish, I just love the whole message and the music, so why wouldn't I be here?"
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Talal, festival-goer from London: ++OVERLAID WITH SHOT 4++
"I think it's a distraction from the real story. I think they're being used as kind of a scapegoat really. Artists have always spoken out politically and it's an important thing, it's actually vital that artists are free to speak their mind and speak their feelings without feeling like they are restricted and censored, otherwise the art isn't pure."

5. Palestinian flag
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Jack and Brooke, festival-goers from York:
Jack: "I think that's what Glastonbury has always been about really, people putting messages out there. For them to censor this out of, yeah, it seems a bit..."
Brooke: "It kind of lifts people from what they can already do. So like people going for marches in the streets, it feels like it's not making enough, so people can see it on TV or Instagram and it feels like it pushes it a bit further."
7. Wide crowd chanting (English) “Free, free Palestine.”
