The Mysterious Band ‘President’ Joins Download Festival 2025—Who Are They?
Alright, rock and metal fans, this one’s got everyone talking! Download Festival 2025 has just dropped a major surprise by adding a completely unknown band to its lineup—President. The name alone is intriguing, but what makes it even more mysterious is that no one seems to know who they are. So, let’s dive into this musical enigma and see if we can piece together the clues.
First off, President has a brand-new website, but instead of giving us answers, it raises even more questions. The site features a dark, red-lit room with neon double-cross symbols and a countdown timer set to expire on May 16, a full month before Download kicks off on June 13. What happens when the countdown hits zero? A new single? An album drop? Or maybe the big reveal of who’s actually behind this project? No one knows.

Then there’s their social media presence. President's Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube accounts all refer to their Download Festival debut as "The Inauguration Rally." They also released a cryptic 17-second video showing a masked figure standing in a dimly lit hall before the screen cuts to their double-cross logo with the message: "The campaign commences soon." And the music? A haunting, tension-building keyboard track that only deepens the mystery.
Naturally, fans have gone full detective mode. The biggest theory? President is somehow connected to Sleep Token. The two bands share a web designer and a management company, leading many to believe this could be a side project or a new evolution of Sleep Token’s masked, anonymous aesthetic. Others think the band could be tied to Slipknot’s Shawn Crahan, given their shared love for eerie visuals and the color red. Some even speculate that Chino Moreno of Deftones and his side project, ††† (Crosses), might be involved, especially since the symbols and visual style have a similar vibe.
So, what’s the deal? A spinoff band? A supergroup? A completely new act with a genius marketing strategy? One thing’s for sure—Download Festival doesn’t just hand out prime festival slots to nobodies. Whoever President is, they’ve got the industry’s attention, and we’ll likely find out more when that countdown hits zero in May.
Until then, let’s hear your theories. Who do you think is behind President? Is this the start of something massive? Drop your thoughts in the comments and let’s crack this mystery together!
