For months, the music world has been speculating about the enigmatic band President. They appeared in the Download Festival lineup without anyone ever having heard of them before. Until now, they had released just two singles and already built up a growing fanbase. But yesterday, the wait was over, and those attending Download at Donington Park got their first real taste of this mysterious act live on stage!
We’ve got the full setlist from their very first show below - and don’t miss the fan-shot videos at the bottom for a glimpse into their live debut.
Setlist – June 15, 2025 at Download Festival
As expected, President performed their two known singles, kicking things off with the brand-new “Fearless” and closing their set with “In the Name of the Father”. But obviously that wasn’t all, as they also premiered three unreleased songs: “Dionysus”, “Rage" and “Destroy Me”.
Here’s the full debut setlist:
-
Fearless
-
Dionysus
-
Rage
-
Destroy Me
-
In the Name of the Father
Impressions from the Festival Debut
As expected, President performed fully masked on stage, as hinted at through their social media and music videos. Much like Sleep Token, the band members remain completely anonymous - for now, at least, though fan theories are running wild. Luckily, fans caught the moment on camera. Check out the videos below to get a feel for their on-stage energy:
