Garage star Mike Skinner swapped the Streets for the fields as his face was pictured in a gigantic “crop circle” to welcome festival goers to Glastonbury.
The singer decided to make the huge work of art because he wants his face “to be seen from space”.
“It’s not so much a crop circle as it is an artwork made out of grass,” he said.
“We hope to make it about 100m long, my aim was for it to be seen from space. It’s the Great Wall of China come to a rock festival in Somerset.”
The portrait of the musician is being created on a field in Castle Cary which is home to the nearest train station to the festival site.
However, Skinner said it was not just a publicity stunt.
“I just really like being creative, it’s a lot of fun,” he added.
“We had a long night last night and my face was the first thing that came to my head and it was the first thing I saw in the mirror this morning.
“Who gets the chance to carve a massive picture of their face into the side of a field?
“Really it’s a big achievement in my life regardless of the show that we’re doing at Glastonbury.”
Skinner got stuck in during the preparation of the piece which was created using GPS remote-controlled tractors, regular tractors and strimmers.
He continued: “It hasn’t been the most stressful, but it has been the most taxing thing I’ve done in the last few months.”
The Streets are playing on the Jazz World stage at the festival tonight.

Seen as the great wall of China can’t be seen from space, I wonder how Skinner expects this to be seen?

I didn’t realise he was serious when he told us about it at the gig. The guys a ledge, quality set- luv him!
