Radar Festival was coerced into cancelling Bob Vylan in private talks with “the venue, its co-owners AMG and Live Nation, and local authorities.”
They were given an “ultimatum” — cancel the band’s appearance or the entire festival would be shut down on its biggest day.

According to Jackson-Smith, Radar was caught between behind-the-scenes conversations involving the venue, its co-owners AMG and Live Nation, and local authorities. The decision to drop Bob Vylan was presented as an ultimatum: either cancel the band's appearance or risk losing the entire Saturday program.
"There was not an option for Bob Vylan to step on stage on Saturday; that became apparent at the beginning of the week," Jackson-Smith explained. "If we continued with Bob Vylan as our headliner, we wouldn't have the festival happening on Saturday."
