Imagine Dragons Tour 2026

Inside Imagine Dragons

Imagine Dragons are the Las Vegas-formed arena-pop-rock band that, across a 15-plus-year run since the debut EPs in 2009, have quietly become one of the most-streamed and most-licensed rock acts of the modern era. Dan Reynolds (vocals), Wayne Sermon (guitar), and Ben McKee (bass) — who first met as Brigham Young University students before relocating the project to Las Vegas — have built a catalogue that runs from the breakthrough Night Visions (2012) through Smoke + Mirrors, Evolve, Origins, the two-part Mercury era, and the 2024 album Loom, and is anchored by a row of crossover singles — Radioactive, Demons, Believer, Thunder, Whatever It Takes, Bad Liar, Enemy, Bones, Birds — that have together collected billions of streams and made the band one of the most-licensed rock acts in film, television, game, and sports soundtracking of the past decade. The LOOM World Tour, which routed across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia from 2024 into 2025, returned the band to global stadium and arena scale with a production built around Dan Reynolds's stripped-shirt frontman energy, a runway-shaped main stage that pushes him deep into the floor crowd on the singalong anchors, anthemic four-on-the-floor stadium drops on Believer and Thunder, the slow-burn b-stage acoustic interlude built around It's Time and Demons, and a closing run of Bones, Enemy (the Arcane Netflix single), and Radioactive that has been the singalong climax of every Imagine Dragons show since 2013. The audience is one of the most genuinely cross-generational in contemporary rock — eight-year-olds who learned the band through League of Legends esports broadcasts and the Arcane soundtrack alongside thirty-somethings who came up on the Night Visions radio cycle — and the production is one of the few stadium-scale rock shows that is unambiguously family-friendly: no explicit content, no haze-and-pyro overload, no dress-code expectation, just very large anthems played very loudly to a bowl that knows every word.

About Imagine Dragons

Imagine Dragons formed in Provo, Utah in 2008 when Dan Reynolds (lead vocals) — a Las Vegas-born songwriter studying at Brigham Young University — met guitarist Wayne Sermon and bassist Ben McKee, both Berklee College of Music graduates from Las Vegas and Forestville, California respectively. Drummer Daniel Platzman joined the project shortly thereafter, completing the lineup that recorded the band's first independent EPs and self-released material through 2009 and 2010. The band relocated their base to Las Vegas, played the Hard Rock Hotel residency circuit relentlessly through 2010 and 2011, signed to Interscope-affiliated Kidinakorner in late 2011, and released a series of EPs (Continued Silence, Hell and Silence, It's Time) that built radio momentum into the debut full-length Night Visions in September 2012. Night Visions hit number two on the Billboard 200 on release, generated It's Time, Radioactive, and Demons as crossover singles, won the band a Grammy for Best Rock Performance in 2014 for Radioactive, and shifted comfortably over five million copies worldwide. Smoke + Mirrors (2015) followed at full arena scale with I Bet My Life and Shots. Evolve (2017) was the band's pop-rock pivot and the commercial peak of the run: Believer, Thunder, and Whatever It Takes together collected billions of streams, soundtracked NFL playoff promos and FIFA EA Sports broadcasts and a generation of cinema trailers, and made Imagine Dragons one of the most consistently played rock acts on global radio for a multi-year stretch. Origins (2018) followed with Natural and Bad Liar; the two-part Mercury — Act 1 (2021) and Act 2 (2022) — was the band's most personally fraught record, written through Dan Reynolds's divorce and the loss of his sister-in-law to cancer, and produced Enemy with rapper JID, the lead single for the League of Legends-derived Netflix animated series Arcane that became one of the band's largest streaming successes of the era. The 2022 Mercury Tour and the 2023 stadium dates set up the Loom album cycle (released June 2024) and the LOOM World Tour, which routed major arenas and stadiums across North America, Europe, the Middle East (including a confirmed Abu Dhabi closing-night residency), Latin America, and Asia through 2024 and 2025. Across the run Imagine Dragons have collected one Grammy, four Billboard Music Awards, the Diamond RIAA certification for Radioactive, Believer, Thunder, and several other singles, and have accumulated more than 75 billion combined streams across major platforms — a figure that places them in a tier of streaming-era rock visibility shared with very few peers. Daniel Platzman is currently on an indefinite hiatus from the touring lineup; the three remaining members — Reynolds, Sermon, McKee — are credited as the band's core through the Loom cycle.

LOOM World Tour and the global stadium routing

The LOOM World Tour is Imagine Dragons' current global touring production, supporting the 2024 album Loom alongside the band's full back catalogue. The North American leg launched in summer 2024 and routed across major arenas and stadiums through that autumn; the European leg followed in mid-2025 with stops across the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, and the Nordics. Additional legs through Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East — including an Abu Dhabi closing-night residency on the F1 weekend production calendar — have been confirmed at points across the cycle. Continuation into 2026 has been hinted at by the band's camp but, at the time of writing, additional legs are reported as possible rather than fully confirmed across all regions — treat any 2026 routing claim as provisional until Imagine Dragons and the local promoter publish the on-sale notice. The show is structured as a 100- to 115-minute set that lands all the catalogue anchors — Believer, Thunder, Bones, Enemy, Whatever It Takes, Radioactive, Demons, Natural — alongside Loom singles Eyes Closed and Nice to Meet You, with a runway-shaped main stage and a b-stage at the back of the floor for the acoustic mid-set break that has been a fixture of Imagine Dragons shows since the Smoke + Mirrors run. The production is family-friendly by design — no explicit content, no haze-and-pyro overload, a deliberately mass-audience-readable visual language built on saturated colour blocks and large-scale screen content tied to the album's visual identity — and ear protection for younger fans is sensible but not as essential as on harder-rock peer tours.

Imagine Dragons tickets

Imagine Dragons tickets are sold through Ticketmaster, Live Nation, AXS, and regional primary partners depending on the territory, with the band's tmAttractionKeyword listed as 'Imagine Dragons' on the Ticketmaster system. Verified Fan registration has been used on some LOOM tour North American on-sales to filter out resale brokers, with most European and Latin American on-sales running as straight general-public timed releases through the local promoter. Pricing on the LOOM stadium and arena routing has generally landed in the standard pop-rock tier: arena upper-tier seats typically run from the equivalent of $50–$90 USD on the cheap end, mid-bowl seats $100–$170, lower-bowl and floor GA $180–$350, and a small allocation of VIP hospitality packages — pre-show food, early entry, premium viewing positions, signed lithograph, and tour merchandise — reported at $400 and up. Stadium dates run somewhat higher across the board. Dynamic pricing has been used on some North American on-sales and can push prime seats higher on demand. Official fan club presales through the band's email list and through the Believers fan club run roughly a week before general on-sale on most legs. For secondary tickets, use Ticketmaster Verified Resale, AXS Official Resale, or Twickets in the UK rather than generic search-ad resale sites; verified resale tends to trade at or above face value for in-demand Imagine Dragons cities.

Imagine Dragons setlist — what they play

The LOOM setlist is a 100- to 115-minute, roughly 20-to-22-song run structured to land both the catalogue anchors and the Loom material at full singalong volume, and rotated only modestly between dates. The show typically opens with the Loom album opener Wake Up or the older anthem My Life into a quick four-on-the-floor salvo through Thunder and Whatever It Takes. The first third lands Believer — usually the loudest single moment of the night, with Dan Reynolds stalking the runway shirtless and the full bowl on the four-count drum hook — alongside Bones and the more recent single Nice to Meet You. The middle of the show pulls into the b-stage acoustic interlude at the back of the floor, where Reynolds and Sermon work through It's Time, Demons, and on some nights Walking the Wire or a stripped Birds, with the rest of the band rejoining for the bridge. The back-half anchor rotates through Bad Liar, Natural, Enemy (the Arcane Netflix single with JID's verse covered by the touring keyboardist or pulled from playback), and Whatever It Takes again on some routings. The closing run is consistently the singalong climax of the night — Radioactive with the giant-drum visual that has closed Imagine Dragons shows since 2013, often preceded by a brief encore break and an acoustic Demons reprise. Night-by-night variation is modest and usually limited to the b-stage acoustic slot and a small handful of catalogue rotations.
