The intrigue surrounding President began in February when they were announced as part of this year’s Download Festival lineup. Initially, fans speculated that this group might be connected to the fellow masked band Sleep Token, who are headlining the festival, enhancing the air of mystery and curiosity.

Observers noted intriguing similarities between their music and that of Deftones as well as Chino Moreno’s side project Crosses after viewing the music video, yet the true identities of the members remain shrouded in secrecy.
The Download Festival is scheduled to occur from June 13 to 15, making President’s performance on June 15 their very first live appearance. Following this, their debut headlining concert at The Garage will take place just a few weeks later, marking a significant milestone in their emerging career.
Mysterious Masked Bands: Revolutionizing the Heavy Music Scene
Although masked bands have been part of the music scene for decades, including iconic groups like Slipknot, the genre of mysterious metal bands is currently experiencing a significant resurgence.

This past month, they achieved their first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart with their latest release, Skeleta.
Following in their footsteps, Sleep Token maintained the momentum by releasing their highly anticipated album Even in Arcadia just two weeks later.
