It would fit, i wouldnt advise it tho, as the frame wasn't designed for them. Fitting these will put extra added stress onto your frame, which could end with a snapped frame. At the end of the day its your choice.
Its not a banshee of what i thinking your thinking. It the halfords thing? yeah? I personally wouldnt, if your looking for better forks why not try some long travel singles? like 66's or domains, some thing along them lines.

It will change the geometry and void the warranty.
would the frame snap soon after i put them on... like on the first ride or longer??

No. I wouldnt have thought so, but theres no hard and fast rule. It will just add stress and might cause catastrophic failure. It could snap in the first 10 minutes it could snap in 10 years time, but i wouldnt gamble with it.

Which Banshee is it? They do a heavier duty XXX version with Domains on. That'll definitely be OK for Fox Floats. The standard one, from memory, has box sections round the headtube and quite a long SC fork as standard, so should be OK with a 150mm fork, but I wouldn't venture any further.
Definitly DO NOT fit triples onto a carrera banshee frame, Ive seen one snap with my own eyes because it had junior t's on. They are not designed to take them (triples put massive tension forces along the top of the top tube). The tubing is quite thin in the top tube. Pretty much any single crowns hould be fine though.
