Glastonbury has fans queuing up for Banksy poster that's only for sale for next few days

Glastonbury Festival fans have got the chance to pick up a thought provoking and valuable souvenir this year - a poster thought to be made by street art legend Banksy.

The poster went on sale on Wednesday for £20 and is already fetching up to £500 on auction site eBay as Banksy fans who are not at the music festival are desperate to get their hands on it. The poster depicts migrants in a boat being passed along a sea of hands.

It appears to be a drawing of a Banksy art stunt which happened at Glastonbury in 2024 when a life sized model version of the migrants and the boat was passed over the top of the audience during Idles set.

During the band's headline set at the an inflatable raft holding dummies of migrants in lifejackets was lifted above the heads of the thousands-strong audience on the Other Stage.

Banksy posted a clip of the stunt - thought to symbolise small boat crossings of migrants in the Channel - on his Instagram account, his usual way of announcing a new creation.

In the past he has made other artworks at the festival and also made a bulletproof vest for Stormzy to wear on stage when he headlined the Pyramid stage.

Banksy is understood to be involved in the art installation Terminal 1 at Glastonbury which is there to view this year and began last year.

To enter the "re-purposed airport" Terminal 1 “celebrating migration” last year people had to answer a question from the UK government’s citizenship test correctly.

A Terminal 1 poster sold last year was rumoured to be made by Banksy and the stall selling Banksy posters is closeby to Terminal 1.

The poster is also limited to one per person, whereas the other posters are not, fueling the theory Banksy is connected to it.

But like much of his work he is unlikely to confirm or deny involvement.

He gave away posters to children at an art installation he did in Croydon but never endorsed them or said they were official, in order to stop them selling for thousands of pounds or fights breaking out at the venue.

Banksy’s work is mainly done on the streets, but his last official exhibition was in Glasgow in 2023 and was entitled Cut and Run. It lasted for 3 months and was thought to be touring to other countries in the future.

Last summer he posted a number of art projects featuring animals around London including monkeys, wolves, pelicans, goats, cats and elephants.
