PRESIDENT To Headline Takedown Festival 2026
PRESIDENT will headline Takedown Festival 2026, set for April 3-4 in Portsmouth at the Guildhall. This marks their first festival headline performance, following their sold-out Campaign Trail tour across the UK and EU. They will share the headline spot with Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons, who will perform a special Motörhead set on Friday, April 3.
Festival co-directors Sarah and Kai Harris shared their excitement: “Takedown Festival 2026 captures the spirit of metal culture. With younger fans rediscovering heavy music’s roots, we’re thrilled to have Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons celebrate Motörhead’s legacy. On Saturday, PRESIDENT will bring their intense, cinematic sound to the main stage, fresh off their King of Terrors EP.”
PRESIDENT recently released their single Destroy Me, from their upcoming debut EP King of Terrors, out September 26. The festival will showcase the evolution of heavy music, from Motörhead’s iconic rock to modern alternative metal. Tickets are on sale now and can be bought here.
