After months of cryptic teasers, haunting visuals, and growing online mythology, the mysterious masked metal collective President have officially announced their debut headline tour, The Campaign Trail. The band will hit venues across Europe starting in January 2026, followed by a UK and Ireland leg in April.
The announcement comes on the heels of PRESIDENT selling out their first-ever headlining show (the Inaugural Rally) within just 48 hours of its surprise drop. Originally announced without warning, the standalone event served as a symbolic launch of what the band now calls a movement.
Following their explosive live debut at Download Festival on June 15, PRESIDENT continue to build momentum with the announcement of their debut, King of Terrors, arriving September 26. A biblical reference describing death, the EP explores themes of religion and mortality with haunting precision.
Its latest single and music video, “RAGE,” channels the fury of Dylan Thomas’ iconic poem Do not go gentle into that good night, declaring a thunderous resistance: “Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” With screamed vocals, punishing breakdowns, and political undertones, it offers a glimpse into PRESIDENT’s ferocious vision.
Despite their anonymity, PRESIDENT’s symbolic imagery, masked personas, and secretive rollout have led fans to speculate connections to Sleep Token, Deftones, or even rock supergroups formed in the shadows. But the message remains clear:
“We never set out to lead,” the band state. “But when enough people walk beside you, it becomes a march. The Campaign Trail is for everyone who’s felt something stir inside them. Now is the time to raise your voice.”
Tickets for The Campaign Trail tour go on sale Friday, August 1 at 10am local time.
