The “missing Banksy pieces ”

[Skip997]

Back in the late 90’s I along with a few mates used to paint the long drops pre festival. Would just cover them in green paint, rats and all.

 

I wonder how many Banksy pieces we destroyed.

Well you gave it a go, anyway.

Many I reckon! It was the first place I heard about him and his art.

 

Glastonbury in general, not the long drops.

Has he done any at the most recent festivals? The last one I remember seeing was the sheep truck driving around. That probably wouldn't be allowed now because of health and safety.

The migrant boat at idles ? Of course the sheep truck would be allowed

There were also people roaming around Terminal 1 selling limited edition prints by him.

I think @CharlotteB meant because of vehicle movements on site, which are now more limited -e.g. milky milky truck no longer allowed.  Procession/carnival vehicles are still allowed but only in certain areas and have a heavy steward presence surrounding them, like the carnival in T&C fields.

Was there any confirmation that the prints were by Banksy?  I got the impression they were by other artists / possibly affiliated with the visual side of Shangri-la.

I don't think Banksy has ever confirmed any involvement in Terminal 1 but I think there's little doubt about it, especially as he was active at the festival this year.  

 

People still selling them as Banksy on ebay

 

I think they were £15 each and selling for hundreds... chancers everywhere! 😞

haha fair! good luck for that pay day though, maybe it will be confirmed in 2025 if Terminal 1 re-appears. 

 

I imagine the whole Terminal 1 structure would be worth a fortune if his involvement was confirmed, but it's currently laying dismantled on the farm 🙂

Yeah they’d just steward it .

If that would be allowed, I want my milky milky back too!

This one was outside the main coach station gate in 2022.
