Wille et les banditsWille et les bandits

Wille and the Bandits have built a reputation as one of the most exciting and authentic live bands to emerge from the UK. Rooted in Cornwall, their music carries the spirit of a place that feels almost like the Deep South of the UK — miles from cities, shaped by wild coastlines, Atlantic weather, and a culture where individuality is survival. It’s a landscape that breeds grit, independence, and soul — and you can hear that in every note they play. The group features some of the finest musicians in the South West, each bringing world-class skill and fearless creativity to the stage. The band now enters a new era with their forthcoming album Salt Roots (2026) — a record that reaches deep into questions of identity, environmental responsibility, and belonging to the land. Recorded live in the room, the album captures the energy of musicians playing together, not programming — the sweat, the risk, the electricity of real performance. Wille and the Bandits remain a hard-touring band at their core — hundreds of shows across Europe, the USA, and Australia, winning crowds the old way: by showing up and leaving everything on stage.
