They were also dropped by the United Talent Agency. Kave Fest in particular pointed to the agency split as the reasoning behind Bob Vylan being removed from the lineup. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cIn light of recent events, Bob Vylan have been dropped by their agent.
