Primal Scream reported to police over alleged antisemitic imagery at London concert

On Monday, the Roundhouse apologised after alleged antisemitic imagery was shown during a Primal Scream gig, saying the content was used without their knowledge.
The band's politically charged set included a screened backdrop featuring successive images during their performance of "Swastika Eyes", showing Gaza imagery followed by the Star of David merged with a swastika.
Video of the set circulating online shows the merged Star of David and swastika imagery, with footage depicting Benjamin Netanyahu, Donald Trump and Keir Starmer having the symbol in their eyes.
Venue and promoter have opened inquiries while police were notified; the Community Security Trust reported the incident to police and called for an urgent investigation by the Roundhouse and promoter.
Campaign groups described the graphics as unambiguously racist and called for accountability as Labour Against Antisemitism’s Alex Hearn said merging swastikas with Stars of David is `unambiguously racist` and the segment ended with `Our Government is complicit in genocide`.
