We caught up with Rabea Massaad and Joe Gosney from Vower at Download Festival 2025 to talk about the band’s beginnings, playing their first Download set, and how their past experiences have shaped a fresh creative outlook. They reflect on their formation, leaning into musical freedom, and why they’re not concerned with expectations from their previous bands.
The conversation also covers the rapid release of their latest single ‘Deadweight’, plans for a UK and European headline tour later this year, and how being fully independent has helped them stay true to their vision. Whether you’re already a fan or just discovering Vower, there’s plenty here to dive into.
