About Imagine Dragons

Imagine Dragons, an American pop rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, burst onto the music scene with a distinctive sound that blends rock, pop, and electronic elements. Formed in 2008, the group gained a rapid following with their 2012 debut album "Night Visions," which included the chart-topping hit "Radioactive" – a song that not only won a Grammy for Best Rock Performance but also became emblematic of their innovative style. The band's lineup includes lead vocalist Dan Reynolds, guitarist Wayne Sermon, bassist Ben McKee, and drummer Daniel Platzman. Their dynamic, emotionally charged music often explores love, struggle, and self-discovery themes, resonating with a wide audience. Imagine Dragons' style is notable for its use of bass-driven beats and memorable choruses, creating an arena-rock feel that's both anthemic and intimate. Following "Night Visions," the band released several successful albums including "Smoke + Mirrors" (2015) and "Evolve" (2017), each showcasing their evolving sound. Hits like "Demons," "Believer," and "Thunder" further cemented their status as a dominant force in modern rock. The band's commitment to philanthropy, particularly in areas of mental health and LGBTQ+ rights, has also been a significant aspect of their identity. Imagine Dragons' ability to fuse genres and connect with fans through heartfelt lyrics and energetic performances has made them one of the standout bands of the 21st century. Their journey from small-time gigs in Las Vegas to global fame is a testament to their talent and appeal in the ever-changing landscape of rock music.

The American rock band Imagine Dragons performed in front of a crowd of more than 30,000 at the Mikheil Meskhi Stadium in the Georgian capital city of Tbilisi on Thursday night.

The four-time Grammy Award-winning band performed popular hits from all five of their albums in the show for the fans. 

They were in Georgia for the first time, as part of their fifth world tour,and saw organisers bring the new stage of Black Sea Arena - a venue in western Georgia's seaside town of Shekvetili - transported to Tbilisi on 35 trucks for their performance. 

The band was in the country as part of Starring Georgia, a series of shows initiated by Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili to promote the country's tourism potential and showcase it on the map of entertainment events around the world. 

The next show in the series will be hosted on October 1 at Dinamo Arena to feature the popular American singer Bruno Mars.

Black Sea Arena, a venue in Georgia's seaside town of Shekvetili that hosted a show of the American band The Killers on Tuesday, released a statement distancing itself from the incident that saw a part of the audience leave in protest after the band brought a Russian fan onto its stage to play drums.

Black Sea Arena, a concert venue in Georgia’s Black Sea town of Shekvetili, on Friday announced that as a result of consultations with the Government Administration, the scheduled concerts over the weekend would be cancelled following the tragic events in the western municipality of Oni, after a landslide killed at least 13 in the Shovi resort on Thursday.

Tickets for the show of the popular American performer Bruno Mars, a headlining act for the Starring Georgia, a series of performances for promoting the country as a visitor destination, will go on sale on Tuesday, with prices ranging from ₾125-₾1,450 ($48-$556), Black Sea Arena venue announced on Monday.

The popular American singer Bruno Mars will perform on October 1 at the Dinamo Arena stadium in the Georgian capital city of Tbilisi as part of Starring Georgia, a series of shows promoting the country's tourism potential and showcasing it on the map of entertainment events around the world. 

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili on Monday said Starring Georgia, a series of shows promoting the country's tourism potential and showcasing it on the map of entertainment events around the world, had been “quite successful” in its first edition this year, and pledged it would host “important, big surprises” in its 2024 programme as well.

American indie and alternative rock group Imagine Dragons was established in 2008 and is made up of four members from Las Vegas, Nevada (US). The lineup consists of vocalist Dan Reynolds, bassist Ben McKee, drummer Daniel Platzman, and guitarist Wayne “Wing” Sermon.

The band’s first big break came in 2009 at the Bite of Las Vegas Festival when Train frontman Pat Monahan fell ill. As a last-minute replacement, Imagine Dragons’ first major gig before an audience of 26,000.

Over the next two years, Imagine Dragons followed up with two EPs, Imagine Dragons and Hell and Silence. It broke out in 2011 with the single “It’s Time”, which led them to sign with Interscope Records. The band moved to California and worked with producer Alex da Kid on two more EPs: Continued Silence and Hear Me. Now ready for the big leagues, Imagine Dragons released its debut album Night Visions in the summer of 2012.

Night Visions was a smash hit across the board. The highest-charting rock album since 2006, it sold over 83,000 copies and reached the number one spot on Billboard’s Alternative and Rock Album chart. It topped charts worldwide, reaching the #1 spot in the UK, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, and Canada, and produced chart-topping singles “Radioactive” and “Demons”.

Imagine Dragons launched its Night Visions Tour, and the resulting series of sold-out shows across the US and Europe earned it recognition as “The Best Breakout Band of 2013” from Billboard. While touring, the band worked on dozens of demos which would lead to the band’s second studio release.

Over the course of 2014, Imagine Dragons honed these songs as it worked on other projects like the song “Battle Cry” for Transformers: Age of Extinction and “Warriors” for the esports event League of Legends Championships. By that October, its new single “I Bet My Life” heralded even greater successes in the coming year.

InFebruary 2015, Imagine Dragons’ second studio album, Smoke + Mirrors debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts. The record proved that the band had truly arrived and went on to sell well over one million copies. Another tour ensued in June of 2015 which would press on into early 2016. Along the way, the band also released a cover of the Eagles of Death Metal song “I Love You All the Time” in support of victims of the November 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris.

For a lot of 2016, the band took a break, releasing just a few singles for the films Suicide Squad, Me Before You and Passengers. Suicide Squad’s “Sucker for Pain,” featuring Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, Logic, Ty Dolla Sign, and X Ambassadors, was a smash hit, topping the charts in what was otherwise a quiet year for the band.

In February of 2017, audiences would get its first taste of new music from the band with the song “Believer,” the first new single from the upcoming record, which also appeared in a Super Bowl ad. A few months later in May, the album arrived. Evolve was revealed with a whole new collection of songs, a brand new single (“Whatever It Takes”) and a tour announcement all on the same day. Evolve would go on to be nominated for multiple Grammys and win Best Rock Video at the MTV Music Awards for “Whatever It Takes.”

Imagine Dragons didn’t rest on its laurels after 2017. The Evolve Tour continued, more singles dropped including “Natural,” and a collaboration tune with Kygo called “Born to Be Yours” hit Twitter. But why stop there? Origins, the band’s fourth studio album in six years, hit audiences with full force, making it to number two on the Billboard 200 and #1 on Top Rock Albums.

Finally, Imagine Dragons took a more restful couple of years. As Reynolds focused on new fatherhood and COVID-19 shut down concert venues, the band’s output slowed down to singles and video releases of old songs.

Then, in 2021, Mercury – Act 1 came out. The next year, 2022, a sequel, Mercury, Acts 1 & 2 followed. Produced by the legendary Rick Rubin, the concept album would slap dozens of tracks down with yet another tour ramping up.

Live reviews

The story of Imagine Dragons and their rise in popularity is an inspiring one. They're a band that put out a 4.5 star album (Night Visions) and toured religiously until it finally caught on. They played small clubs and were on the bottom of lineup posters just three years ago. Now they're one of the biggest bands around, headlining festivals and performing in arenas every night.

I was lucky enough to see Imagine Dragons when they were just getting going. I saw them play The Metro in Chicago (one of my favorite venues) in what ended up being one of the best shows of 2013. I also love Night Visions. It would have been the best album of 2012, if not for Mumford and Sons Babel being released that same month.

So when Imagine Dragons announced their summer tour, I was excited to see a Tampa stop included. I was not happy however, to see the show was at the 18,000 capacity Amalie Arena. This was quite the change from their first show in Tampa at the Ritz Theater with a capacity of 1,100.

I also wasn't as excited as expected for the show because the tour is in support of the groups much anticipated second album - Smoke and Mirrors. The record was put out in February of this year, and I was extremely disappointed. In my opinion, the Las Vegas rockers abandoned their alternative roots and made a poppy record that would just get radio play.

That record was on full display for their Friday night Tampa show. Imagine Dragons performed 12 songs from Smoke & Mirrors, essentially playing the album in full. Now I know this was the 'Smoke & Mirrors Tour,' but how about a nod to the album and the fans that got you to where you are today?

Instead, the guys just gave minimal nods to Night Visions. They played the four most popular songs from it ('It's Time,' 'Radioactive,' 'Demons,' and 'On Top of the World'). They also played one acoustic verse each from 'Nothing Left to Say' and 'Bleeding Out.' It was nothing close to the attention that album deserves and fans were hoping for. I would have loved to have heard just one of the following: 'Hear Me,' 'Amsterdam,' 'Nothing Left to Say,' 'Round and Round,' or 'Selene.'

Instead, I was listening to a poppy album in a half empty arena. That's right, sales were weak for this Friday night show in the music friendly community of Tampa. The floor was only at about half capacity. Maybe the $90 price point for a floor ticket was one reason, but it's never easy to get into the show when the band is playing at a venue much too large for their popularity.

Another negative of the night was the formation and style that the band chose to lay out. Lead singer Dan Reynolds played 80% of the show from an extended part of the stage that ran down the middle of the floor. At times, it seemed like a solo show for him, rather than a full band experience. I couldn't even tell you any highlights from the other contributing members of Imagine Dragons.

Lastly, one of my favorite things from the first three years of touring for ID, was their unique and constant use of rhythmic drums. They used to have drums of all sounds and sizes scattered across the stage. Each member would go to their drum station constantly throughout the set, and the beats and rhythms they came up with were addicting to watch. With the exception of 'Radioactive,' that fun portion of the show has completely disappeared from their live set.

Overall, this show was a disappointment. There was a great band that put out a superb debut back in 2003 entitled 'Songs about Jane.' That band (Maroon 5) went on to release 4 more albums, with each being worse than the album before it. At the same time though, their radio play and recognition in the top 40 community has increased with each release. I think Imagine Dragons might be the next Maroon 5.

CONCERT RATING: 2 Stars

Report as inappropriate

I’ve been listening to the group since so long, and the first song I heard from them was Radioactive, which everyone knows I’m sure of it. The concert run an hour late, but nobody was complaining and they started with I don’t know why, which immediately put everybody in the mood. There was many generations mixed, and all the adults around me didn’t really knew imagine dragons, weren’t really sure if they were going to like it, and were really surprised to see they were just loving the concert. The group was playing and singing at the perfection, all of them was contributing to the making of each songs, and there was such a good atmosphere it was really incredible. Dan Reynolds (the lead singer) talked really often to the crowd during the show and also took a moment to raise awareness about LGBT youth, which was a really touching moment. Their energy, their complicity with each other, everything was perfect, and the last song, radioactive, there so well known hit, just ended the concert with a great energy. I loved it, probably one of the best concert I’ve ever been. Imagine dragons is not like many artists who just come on stage, say hi, sing ( either in playback, or wrong), don’t interact with the crowd, and get out of stage without a thank you. Imagine dragons talked to us so many times it was really pleasant, I’ve never seen a group or an artist take the time to say something relevant, they even went into the crowd during the show, to the back of the concert hall so people in the back could see them at least for 3 songs. It was perfect, and I sure will go to their next concert, because seeing Imagine dragons in live, is just magic and unforgettable.

Listening to Las Vegas native band Imagine Dragons through headphones is one great experience, but seeing them perform their upbeat guitar and drum tunes in person, paired with the resonating vocals of Dan Reynolds, truly makes for a life-changing event.

The band has now performed all over the world due to their understandable success, and I saw them play at Lollapalooza in Brazil where they dressed in all black and gave the screaming crowd something they wouldn’t ever forget. The mellifluous band has a sort of chill, indie, rock and roll style, but they are far from an independent band – they embarked on a world tour after major success with their single “Radioactive” and have received lots of radio play for their cool guitar strums and cheerful yet relaxing music style.

Seeing the band live really makes you want to get off your feet, and the lively lyrics will truly dare you to try and stand still in one place, as the music urges you to let go and give in to the feeling of the music flowing through your whole body as your hear it the amazing instrumentals and sounds.

At Lollapalooza, the band didn’t require any props besides a simple few lights and their name in the background on a screen. All they need are their instruments, and Dan’s soulful voice.

This was the first concert that we took our two children to (ages 10 and 12) and they had a great time! The venue (Shoreline Amphitheater) was fantastic and we enjoyed our view from the lawn.

The opening bands were engaging and certainly warmed up the crowd! When Imagine Dragons appeared, our kids were really excited and ready for a "full concert experience"! Imagine Dragons did not disappoint! They played all the popular songs as well as some older ones. They even changed stages halfway through the concert which was a great bonus! The band definitely knew how to keep the crowd engaged from asking us to sing along to "Yesterday" and even releasing large balloons for the crowd to bat around throughout the second half of the concert.

Their final few songs, which included Radioactive, were absolutely brilliant! They had so much energy at the end it was infectious! Their extended drumming section in Radioactive was awesome! They ended with two songs instead of a typical walk off and then come back for an encore. Their final song, Believer, was a rocking anthem that had us all walking away singing at the end of the concert. Overall, it was a great first concert for my kids and a great reminder of why live music matters so much!

I haven't been on the Imagine Dragons bandwagon as long as some have. I picked them up after Night Visions came out and they quickly became an act I needed to see. Their catchy blend of pop and rock elements was always going to be a winner live. And it was.

I saw them play to a sold-out Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne. Their support act were British India, a local band who had achieved reasonable levels of success on the national stage. They were solid and a good lead-in to the main act.

They opened with Shots and built an amazing set list from there. They played all of their hits, debuted a couple of new songs they haven't done before and threw in a couple of covers (Forever Young and Beds Are Burning) to fill out their performance. Dan Reynolds is an amazing vocalist and his backing instrumentalists (Sermon, McKee and Platzman) complemented his eccentric and energetic performance style.

The only letdown of the night was the atmosphere. I'm unsure if it was the venue's acoustics or the audience but it wasn't as loud or electric as the gigs I've been to before.

Overall I'd give the show a 9/10 and that will only improve with another album or two of quality content. I'd definitely go see them again.

The concert was really great. Every members of the band had SO much energy that they shared with the public. Dan Reynolds made a speech on the LGBT youth at some point during the concert and that was great, he spoke with his heart and the public gave this love back. The light were blowing our minds and they were at their best during the whole concert.

At some point, there only were instumentals and the singer (Dan Reynolds) lied down on the ground and started doing yoga, which was pretty funny.

In the middle of the concert, they went on the second stage (smaller and in the middle of the room) so everyone could see them.

They ended the concert with the first song we have (my sisters and I) discovered them with six years ago.

I truly encourage people to go to their concert because they are one of the most fantastic band of the 21th century.

PS: if I can share an advise, if you really want to bring a goodie home, buy it BEFORE the concert. At the end, there are a lot of people and, I guess, less choice (we bought it before the concert so we had all the pleasure and time to choose what we wanted)

On October 1st I went to Imagine Dragons concert for the first time. It was a breathtaking performance. Dan’s beautiful and emotional speech is still in my mind, especially the part about things that don’t mean nothing and are given meaning like class, color, race. Dan’s voice is really powerful and very unique that makes you feel goosebumps. His personality is one of the best. He is an honest and a nice person which he expresses through his music, the way he talks and acts, the way he stays positive and inspires us to rise up, believe that the lost things will come back to us, be thankful to yesterdays, sometimes start over and do whatever it takes to make it up to our loved ones and become stronger, no matter how much pain we go through. Imagine Dragons does a great job in creating meaningful, inspirational and emotional music which is very rare in our day and age. My friends and I laughed, cried, danced, sang and screamed so much that we couldn’t talk after it. The feelings are unforgettable. It was an experience worth repeating a thousand times. Thank you Imagine Dragons.

really good live production, dan's voice is very beautiful live and wing's guitar solos were also impressive. the drummer did a very nice piece but unfortunately we didn't hear from the bassist.

we sat in block 102 of the o2 arena which was on the left of the stage. we had a good view but there were a lot of couples around us who were not very enthusiastic about the concert which made the concert slightly sedate to enjoy. if you want to really get into the music I recommend standing but if you want to go with a friend or something to just listen and watch nicely then sit.

also I wasn't really massively impressed with the track list. they didn't sing smoke and mirrors or bleeding out, which we were disappointed by. the encore song was "the fall" which wasn't the energetic fun song the audience was expecting. radioactive and demons were both excellent but I think they wanted to promote songs from the new album.

still would recommend as you can watch nicely or really get into the music.

Well-imagined dragons: an excellent performance from an extremely enthusiastic and (at times almost too) humble band, clearly enjoying every minute of their time on stage.

The support act, Sunset Sons, kicked things off excellently with some high-energy, high-tempo tracks to a very receptive crowd, setting the tone for the main event.

forty minutes or so later, the Dragons burst on to the stage to a huge ovation, got straight into it and kept the pace up the whole way through, only really stopping from time to time to thank the fans, be a bit grateful and have a bit of a joke from time to time.

I'm not sure if I had lower expectations than was fair of this band, who I've only seen once previously at Glastonbury '14 (which mainly involved them all being covered in mud), but for me they massively over-delivered on staging, performance and energy to provide a fantastic night, culminating in the inevitable, uh, golden shower of glittery leaves from above. Excellent stuff.

Sound was pretty horrible, waaaay too loud, even with earplugs, which I almost never need to wear.

Many awkward choices of covers with awkward musical production choices. Feels like as they only have about 4 hits, they just spent the entire first hour of the concert stalling for time, giving every band member a chance for a below-average, horribly sounding solo.

The guitarist's overuse of harmonizer (+/-1 octave) only made his solo even more childish and simply sounded awful. Felt like he was trying to imitate Rage Against the Machine's creative guitar playing, although stealing techniques doesn't make it your own.

I believe that this is what happens when a young band gain a lot of popularity in relatively short time, experience is noticeably lacking here.

Visuals and lighting were good and with high quality though.

How imagine dragons became the sound of gaming culture.

A decade ago, former games journalist Geoff Keighley was busy planning the first Game Awards, a project to build some prestige and pomp around video game award ceremonies.

He had already booked famed Nintendo composer Koji Kondo to perform on piano a medley of songs from the Legend of Zelda franchise, but he wanted a little more sound to fill the Las Vegas stage. And then he remembered: A young band called Imagine Dragons was climbing charts and fresh off a memorable Grammys performance with Kendrick Lamar. The Las Vegas group would become Kondo’s backing band.

“That Koji Kondo moment was super fun and last minute,” Keighley recalls to The Washington Post. “It was a combo of the show being in Vegas, their hometown, and knowing they’re big gamers.”

Imagine Dragons has been all over gaming culture ever since. Of all the band’s accomplishments - filling stadiums and arenas, even performing Beatles songs in front of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr - playing with Kondo remains a highlight, says the band’s frontman Dan Reynolds. He didn’t grow up listening to the Beatles, he grew up listening to the “Athletic Theme” from Super Mario World.

“I geeked out harder on that than when we played in front of McCartney,” Reynolds says.

Reynolds says the band’s ties to gaming trace all the way back to when publisher Ubisoft asked to use its song “Radioactive” on trailers for the 2012 game Assassin’s Creed III. Reynolds loved the series and gave the green light right away.

Since then, various game companies have kept approaching the band. Epic Games’ iOS game Infinity Blade III featured the band’s name and song “Monster” (a collaboration that first caught Keighley’s attention, leading to the Game Awards show). In 2017, Nintendo created a Super Bowl trailer to launch the Switch console with the band’s hit single “Believer.” Riot Games and Netflix commissioned the band to write “Enemy,” the theme song for the hit animated series “Arcane,” now approaching 1.5 billion streams on Spotify.

“It’s not like we’re going around knocking on doors,” Reynolds says, laughing. “They just started reaching out, and we said, ‘Absolutely, this is amazing.’ Look, I’m really tall, 6 foot 4, never played sports, always did music and drama, so people probably think I’m not a gamer, but it’s my bread and butter. It’s our world.”

Reynolds grew up playing old-school adventure games published by Sierra Entertainment, then became a big fan of Blizzard games like Warcraft, StarCraft and Diablo.

“Then Dark Souls took over my life,” Reynolds says, adding that the band is always gaming on tour. “We’ve been late onstage because we’re playing League of Legends.” (Leaving a multiplayer League match early can result in a ban, so the band doesn’t risk it.)

Last year, the band released “Children of the Sky,” a collaboration with composer Inon Zur for the launch of Starfield, a marquee Xbox game that lets players explore about a thousand planets. Again, it happened because someone from Bethesda Game Studios emailed the band’s manager about a collaboration.

Imagine Dragons returned to the Game Awards stage in 2021 to perform “Enemy” and a medley of songs from indie studio Supergiant Games. Reynolds says it’s been amazing to see the event eclipse the viewing audiences of other awards shows including the Oscars.

“Geoff just reached out to us and was like, ‘I don’t know how this is going to go, and I’m just shooting from the hip here, you guys want to be a part of this?’ And we were like, oh yeah,” he says. “And then it’s blown up over the last years. He’s such a kind person, so it’s made me so happy to see good people win.”

Now the band is about to release its sixth studio album, “Loom,” on June 28. It features more of the band’s signature sound: danceable anthems drenched in reverb and soaring choruses. The latest single, “Nice to Meet You,” is a fun, funk-inflected dance track about Reynolds’s experience with a partner’s friends getting involved in their dating life.

“I grew up listening to singer-songwriters, Dylan, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Cat Stevens. But I love pop music,” Reynolds says, explaining the airy, upbeat feel of the record. “I like to create big choruses and songs that I want to hear, and I happen to be in a healthier, happier place with this record, so hopefully that’s reflected in it.”

Many Imagine Dragons lyrics revolve around Reynolds’s struggle with depression. Hype classics like “Thunder” are about Reynolds gassing himself up despite overwhelming self-doubt. He admits that “Eyes Closed,” the first single this year (the chorus: “I could do this with my eyes closed”) is empty boasting and bluster that hint at inadequacies he still feels.

Criticism of the band tends to focus on the tension between its marketability and its supposed place in rock music. The Imagine Dragons sound is radio-friendly, approachable and clean, perfect for marketing material. And Reynolds’ choruses are so catchy and concise, you could easily imagine them backing an Apple product launch. iPhone 16 Plus Max? Nice to meet you.

At the same time, Imagine Dragons is one of the few remaining mega acts filling arenas with a real-life electric guitar loud and visible onstage. Critics of the band jeered when the group topped Billboard’s rock charts. Reynolds, for what it’s worth, agrees with them. He owns being a pop act.

“I really think the sentiment of Imagine Dragons ‘keeping rock alive’ is kind of a silly sentiment,” he says. “When I think of rock, I think Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age. I think of a very specific genre that I love, but that’s not what Imagine Dragons has ever wanted to be or tried to be, and it’s not our influences. I didn’t really listen to any classic rock growing up!”

Of course he hears the criticism, but Reynolds says he and the group are happy with their signature sound. They write all their songs based on personal experiences, he says. He focuses on pop hooks, citing classical composers like Chopin and Bach, whom he describes as “very pop.”

“I can genuinely say we’ve never created a record where we’re saying, ‘What do you want, critics? What do you want to hear right now?’” Reynolds says. “I just write songs I want to play. If I’m going to perform them for the next two years, I’d better like them. We’re trying to make sounds that feel good on the ears and make you feel something. And all I’m doing is writing about what’s going in my life. And this happens to be a happy time period.”

And many times, that will mean writing music for the hobby and entertainment medium he’s loved since he was a kid.

“My MO from the very beginning is just following the kid in me. What would little Dan Reynolds love to be a part of?”

Imagine Dragons' Dan Reynolds Says Band Has 'Been Late on Stage Because We're Playing League of Legends '

"People probably think I'm not a gamer, but it's my bread and butter. It's our world," said Reynolds in a new interview

If an Imagine Dragons concert doesn't start on time, it's possibly because the band is caught up in a heated video game match.

The "Radioactive" band's frontman Dan Reynolds opened up about his love for gaming in a new interview with The Washington Post , revealing the hobby has caused the group to delay its own shows.

"We’ve been late onstage because we’re playing League of Legends ," the singer-songwriter, 36, told the outlet of the multiplayer online battle game, which reserves the power to ban players who leave matches early.

Imagine Dragons has a history of collaborating with video game companies. Several of the band's songs have been featured in commercials for gaming brands Ubisoft, Epic Games, Nintendo, Riot Games (the company behind League of Legends ) and more.

The "Believer" group's first time working with a gaming company was about a decade ago, when they performed as the backing instrumentalists for Nintendo composer Koji Kondo at the Game Awards in Las Vegas.

"I geeked out harder on that than when we played in front of [Paul] McCartney ," said Reynolds, who grew up listening to Kondo's work for Super Mario World , in the Washington Post interview.

When it comes to working with major gaming brands, Imagine Dragons isn't "going around knocking on doors" for opportunities, explained the lead vocalist: "They just started reaching out, and we said, 'Absolutely, this is amazing.'"

"Look, I’m really tall, 6 foot 4, never played sports, always did music and drama, so people probably think I’m not a gamer, but it’s my bread and butter," added Reynolds. "It's our world."

"I grew up listening to singer-songwriters — Dylan, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Cat Stevens. But I love pop music," he said. "I like to create big choruses and songs that I want to hear, and I happen to be in a healthier, happier place with this record, so hopefully that’s reflected in it."

How Imagine Dragons became the sound of gaming culture

Dan Reynolds loves video games. The game companies love him back.

Swift, who's currently in the midst of the tour's European leg , has already welcomed an array of artists to share her stage, including Phoebe Bridgers , Sabrina Carpenter, MUNA, Gayle , Gracie Abrams, and more. But on Monday, Swift announced that she'd recruited three more rising stars.

Mette, Griff, and Benson Boone will join Paramore as openers for Swift's set of London shows: Mette will perform on Friday, June 21; Griff on Saturday, June 22; and Boone on Sunday, June 23. (Swift will return to Wembley Stadium for five additional dates in August, but those openers have not yet been announced.)

"Thought this might be a fun time to announce the first group of opening acts I'll be adding to the London shows, going on before Paramore," Swift wrote on her Instagram Story. "I chose artists whose music I love listening to, and I can't wait for them to add an extra jolt of excitement to our shows."

If you've yet to add Mette, Griff, or Boone to your own playlists, keep reading for a primer on their careers so far.

Key songs: " Bet ," " Van Gogh ," " Mama's Eyes "

The lowdown: Mette Towley, who releases music mononymously as Mette, is a singer, dancer, and actor from Minnesota.

She initially received acclaim after starring in the 2017 music video for "Lemon" by N.E.R.D and Rihanna; the clip opens with Rihanna shaving Mette's head. You may also recognize her from a brief cameo as the discontinued Video Girl doll in the 2023 blockbuster "Barbie."

Mette and Swift most likely met on the set of 2019's "Cats," in which Mette played Cassandra . (Swift portrayed Bombalurina in the unsettling adaptation of the Broadway play.)

More recently, Mette released her debut EP "Mettenarrative" and toured with the UK's disco darling Jessie Ware.

"I really wanted to be an artist growing up, but dance was where I felt most confident in my abilities," she told Vogue last year. "Even when I started making this EP back in 2019, I didn't tell most of the people I knew, my friends and collaborators. It just still felt so far away. Now, I feel like I can truly claim that for myself."

"I have nothing to prove," she added. "Only to share."

In addition to joining The Eras Tour this summer, Mette will also perform at Lollapalooza in Chicago.

Key songs: " Vertigo ," " Miss Me Too ," " Black Hole "

The lowdown: Griff — born Sarah Faith Griffiths in Kings Langley, Hertfordshire, to a Jamaican father and Chinese mother — has described herself as a lifelong Swiftie .

"She's probably one of the No. 1 people that I look up to in terms of being a songwriter and being a top female in the music industry and being so consistent and coming back, time after time after time, with incredible songs," Griff told Nylon . "I even said that to her."

The two musicians met at the 2021 Brit Awards , where Griff received the annual rising star award and performed her popular single "Black Hole." (Swift had previously called herself a " huge fan " and even gave Griff a shout-out while accepting the global icon award .)

Griff kept her music aspirations a secret at school and only began pursuing it in earnest after finishing her A-Level exams. Instead of enrolling in a university, she took a "gap year" that quickly snowballed into a professional career . After releasing a string of well-received singles, she opened on tour for Ed Sheeran, a noted pal of Swift's . She has also collaborated with fellow indie-pop darlings like Sigrid and Maisie Peters .

Benson Boone

Key songs: " Beautiful Things ," " Slow It Down ," " Cry "

The lowdown: Benson Boone seemed to arrive out of nowhere when his single "Beautiful Things" topped both of Billboard's global charts in February. The surprise viral hit owes much of its success to TikTok, where Boone has 7 million followers .

However, the Washington native had been laying the groundwork for years, already having earned two entries on the Billboard Hot 100 .

Boone started out as a contestant on "American Idol" — where he was praised as a potential winner by none other than Katy Perry — but withdrew from the competition to avoid being pigeonholed in his career. In 2021, he caught the attention of Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds and signed to the rockstar's own label, Night Street Records, in partnership with Warner Records .

Shortly after, Boone made his chart debut with "Ghost Town" (No. 100). He made a second chart appearance in 2022 with his power ballad "In the Stars" (No. 59), which also became his first platinum-certified single in the US.
