Multi-million streaming, UK-based collective PRESIDENT have today announced their first Australian headline tour. The announcement follows the recent reveal of the band's debut full-length album, BLOOD OF YOUR EMPIRE.
Launching in 2025 and operating under the cloak of minimalism and anonymity, PRESIDENT have been cultivating intrigue with each single and live performance. They exists at the intersection of heavy music, electronic experimentation, and cinematic atmosphere. Built to exist outside the noise, PRESIDENT have been building something that invites deeper investment — designed to be discovered, not sold. Refusing to conform to the traditional structures of genre or identity, PRESIDENT prioritize intent over image.
PRESIDENT’S Australian Campaign will be joined by Hands Like Houses, supporting on all dates. The acclaimed Canberra five-piece bring a powerful live presence, having built a devoted audience across Australia and internationally through their emotionally charged songwriting and expansive modern rock sound. With three Top 10 ARIA records, more than 130,000 records sold worldwide and over 300 million Spotify streams, the band have cemented their place as one of Australia’s enduring independent alternative acts.
Fresh off a sold-out U.S. tour supporting Bad Omens, PRESIDENT will return to Australia in February 2027 for their first headline tour of the country.
