Siouxsie and the Banshees personnel

Siouxsie and the Banshees went through several lineup changes throughout their history. Vocalist Siouxsie Sioux and bassist Steven Severin were the only original members that lasted the whole time. After going through two other drummers in the early stages, Sid Vicious and Kenny Morris, Budgie became their permanent drummer in 1979. The Banshees had several guitarists, including Marco Pirroni (later of Adam & the Ants), John McGeoch (Magazine and later Public Image Ltd aka PiL) and Robert Smith of the Cure.

The following is a list of the lineups in the band's history, including side projects and session musicians.
