“PRESIDENT, the enigmatic new band set to make their debut at Download Festival 2025, has generated significant buzz with the release of their first single, “In The Name Of The Father,” which dropped on May 15, 2025. The track marks a powerful entry into the rock and metal scene, accompanied by a striking music video featuring the masked members, adding to the band’s mysterious allure.

This combination of mystery, a strong debut single, and a high-profile festival appearance positions PRESIDENT as one of the most intriguing new acts of 2025, capturing the attention of rock enthusiasts and Download Festival audiences alike.” (Perplexity)
