Fresh from winning Instrumentalist of the Year at the UK Blues Awards 2026, Will Wilde is one of the most exciting and original artists in modern blues rock.  This August, he and his band are confirmed to open for Eric Clapton at The Sandringham Estate, marking another major milestone in a career that continues to gather momentum.

​

His explosive, hard-edged harmonica style takes centre stage, replacing the traditional blues rock lead guitar with an electrifying sound that owes as much to Gary Moore as it does to Sonny Boy Williamson.  Constantly pushing the boundaries of his instrument, Wilde has redefined what the harmonica can do.

​

Wilde has built a reputation as one of the hardest-working and most exciting live performers on the UK blues circuit. He has toured extensively across Europe, sold out every UK headline show so far in 2026, and is set to make his highly anticipated US debut this summer.

His latest album, Blues Is Still Alive, which features blues legend Walter Trout, reached No. 1 on the IBBA (Independent Blues Broadcasters Association) Chart and No. 5 on the Official UK Jazz & Blues Albums Chart.
