Wild Oyo
Press kit
Forged in the fog of West Cornwall, Wild Oyo have gained a reputation for their high-energy, off-kilter live performances. Inspired by Afrobeat, funk and post-punk, torn up and pasted back together as one giant, dancey beast. Wild Oyo make music with energy and spontaneity; it’s something to be seen and felt live - in the wild.
Wild Oyo isn’t just a band; we’re a live music experience. We’ve honed our craft and ignited crowds at a variety of venues and festivals. Since winning Tropical Pressure’s battle of the bands, Wild Oyo have gone on to play a number of festivals and venues across the country including Shambala, Rock Oyster, The Barrelhouse, Tropical Pressure and The Cornish Bank.
These experiences have shaped us into a high-energy, crowd-pleasing act known for our own sound, inspired by Afrobeat, funk and post-punk. Our performances are more than just music; they’re a full-on sonic adventure designed to get people moving, grooving, and feeling the music. Doing all our own originals, we’re a captivating force that leaves a lasting impression.
