Banksy Hijacks Punk Band's Show With Surprise Refugee Boat Stunt

The vessel crowd-surfed during Idles' performance of “Danny Nedelko" at the Glastonbury Festival.
British street artist Banksy has confirmed his involvement with the launch of an inflatable life raft — containing dummies in orange life jackets, representing migrants — during a set by British punk rock band Idles at the Glastonbury Festival in southwest England on Friday night.
The boat crowd-surfed during the band’s performance of “Danny Nedelko,” a track that condemns right-wing immigration policies.
The song begins: “My blood brother is an immigrant, a beautiful immigrant, my blood brother’s Freddie Mercury, a Nigerian mother of three. He’s made of bones, he’s made of blood, he’s made of flesh, he’s made of love, he’s made of you, he’s made of me, unity.”
Banksy, whose identity has never been officially confirmed, reportedly didn’t tell the members of the band — who come from his home city of Bristol — about the stunt beforehand.
Footage was shared on the artist’s Instagram page on Saturday. No caption was included. Watch the video here:
