Imagine Dragons Opening Act 2026 — Who is the Support?

How Imagine Dragons Tour Openers Get Announced

Most Imagine Dragonstour openers aren't named when tickets go on sale. The supporting act is locked in per-region (sometimes per-show) and surfaces on the official Ticketmaster show page in the weeks before each stop. Click any date above to see whether the opener is confirmed yet — Catch Movement pulls live show pages daily, so the listed support act updates as soon as Ticketmaster does.

For headliners at Imagine Dragons's scale, expect a single opener doing a 30 to 45 minute set, sometimes with a regional rotation (a Canadian opener for CA dates, a US opener for the American leg). The opener slot doesn't require a separate ticket — your Imagine Dragons ticket covers the full show.

How to Find the Confirmed Imagine Dragons Opener for Your City

1. Pick your city from the tour-date list above.
2. Click through to that show's Ticketmaster page.
3. Check the listing — confirmed openers appear under the headline name once added.
4. Watch for updates — openers are sometimes added 2 to 4 weeks out, so check back if it's still TBA.

Do I Need a Separate Ticket for the Opener?

No. The Imagine Dragons ticket you buy from Ticketmaster covers the entire show — opener + headliner — at the same venue, same night. Doors usually open 60 to 90 minutes before the advertised start time; the opener typically performs first, with a 20 to 30 minute changeover before Imagine Dragons takes the stage.

Imagine Dragons Opening Act — FAQ

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.
