Singapore has barred British trip-hop band Massive Attack from performing in the city-state after two members unfurled a Palestinian flag during a concert, AFP reported on Saturday.

Police said two members were issued stern warnings and banned from re-entering Singapore after an investigation found they had breached rules on Wednesday against displaying foreign emblems without permission.
