Review: Imagine Dragons kick off world tour, telling Utah fans ‘you are the reason we are a band’

The pop-rock band gives an emotional, immersive performance of new songs and classic hits..

Dan Reynolds, the frontman of Imagine Dragons, confessed to the crowd at Salt Lake City’s Rice-Eccles Stadium that he had a sinus infection — and that he woke up stressed about it Friday, worried about being able to perform on the first stop of the North American leg of the band’s world tour.

But, he added, he felt confident that the band’s Utah fans — who have been with Imagine Dragons since the beginning — would be able to sing with him, and for him, when needed.

“This band started over a decade ago right here in Utah,” Reynolds told the stadium crowd at the start of Friday night’s show, beaming as he described the band’s early shows at Salt Lake City’s iconic Kilby Court. “You are the reason we are here today, you are the reason we are a band. ... Thank you for giving us a career.”

It was an emotional opening to an emotional show, the first of 20 performances on this leg of the Grammy-winning pop-rock band’s Mercury World Tour. And when Imagine Dragons opened with “Younger,” a song off its newest album, “Mercury — Act 2,” accompanied by fireworks, it made a statement that it was going to be one hell of a show.

At any concert, there are maybe a handful of moments where audience members feel completely immersed in the show, whether it be from connection to the music itself or the surrounding atmosphere. Imagine Dragons’ show Friday was so immersive, the entire concert was that moment.

(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Dan Reynolds sings for Imagine Dragons, at Rice-Eccles Stadium, on Friday, Aug. 5, 2022.

The set list was a good mix of the band’s established hits and cuts off of 2021′s “Mercy — Act 1″ and this year’s “Mercury — Act 2.” Songs like “Younger” and the classic “Radioactive” were accompanied with pyrotechnics. Confetti cannons went off five times. Wrist bands given to the audience were synchronized, and lt up with every song. Reynolds sometimes left the stage to go down into the crowd, interacting with fans and small children.

All of this stagecraft combined to let every person in the stadium — from the pit to the back rows — feel like they were an important part of the show, crucial to its success. The crowd was on its feet from the moment the band took the stage until the last chord of the final song vibrated through the breeze.

Among the highlights:

• Reynolds introduced “It’s Time,” the band’s first hit single, by recalling how he wrote the song in his dorm room at Brigham Young University. He held a pride flag while he sang the song, which has become an anthem for LGBTQ+ people, with the line in the chorus, “I’m never changing who I am.”

• Reynolds dedicated the song “Demons,” another early single, to “anyone with heavy depression and anxiety” and implored them to remember “you are not alone” and “your life is always worth living.”

• He dedicated the song “Believer” to Ukraine, and took a moment to speak against the Russian invasion there.

• For the song “On Top of the World,” large multi-color balloons were tossed around the pit, bobbing through the air like beach balls.

• A series of short videos guided the show, a narrative journey of the “Mercury” album — which Reynolds, choking up, said was “to celebrate those we have lost and to hope for something more.”

Being the first show of this leg of the tour, there were some opening-night glitches. Some fans were caught short by the stadium’s strict, and apparently last-minute, bag policy — forcing them to either take their purses back to their cars or check their bags. And there was the sudden jolt of pouring rain just before the Dragons took the stage, sending people running for cover or, if they were prepared, putting on their rain ponchos and jackets. (The stage crew diligently worked to clear water off the long walkway stage.)

Even those moments had their upside: Between sets, to pass the time and perhaps to keep spirits up, the audience across the stadium did The Wave, keeping it going for several rounds before Imagine Dragons took the stage.

Opening the show for Imagine Dragons were pop artist Kings Elliot — who some fans missed because of the delays getting into the stadium — and hip-hop artist Macklemore.

(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Macklemore performs at Rice-Eccles Stadium, on Friday, Aug. 5, 2022.

During his energetic 40-minute opening set, Macklemore and his band — all color-coordinated in green — played his iconic hits, like “Thrift Shop,” “Same Love,” and “White Walls,” as well as a new song, “Maniac.” At some points, Macklemore even hosed the pit down by squeezing out water from a spray tube. Before he left, Macklemore promised a new album next time he comes back to Utah.

Imagine Dragons fans in Utah are sometimes treated as a punchline, told that they don’t have “real” musical taste (whatever that may be). In Friday night’s show, the band proved what fans have appreciated since their first album, “Night Visions” — that Imagine Dragons make good, immersive music that anyone can connect to.

Like the young girl in the stands, dressed in an oversized Mercury World Tour shirt, dancing in the aisle and head-banging to the guitar solos. Or the older man in front of her, swaying back and forth and belting lyrics like nothing else in the world mattered in that moment.

More than a decade after their start in Utah clubs, Imagine Dragons continue to deliver for their fans, putting together a welcoming, brilliant environment. The first show of the Mercury World Tour was a triumph, and shows what it means to attend a concert in 2022.

​​With 46 million albums and 55 million songs sold globally, as well as 74 billion combined streams, Imagine Dragons remains one of the best-selling rock bands, reinventing the genre with their enormous breakout success across the 2010s. Billboard’s Top 3 rock songs of the decade belonged to the band – “Believer,” “Thunder” and “Radioactive.” Formed in 2009, Imagine Dragons developed a grassroots following with a series of independently released EPs before making their major label debut on KIDinaKORNER/Interscope with the 2012 EP Continued Silence. Night Visions, their 2012 full-length debut, entered the Billboard 200 at No. 2 and the lead-off track “Radioactive” topped Billboard’s Hot Rock Songs chart, won a GRAMMY for Best Rock Performance, and achieved RIAA Diamond status. 2015’s Smoke + Mirrors debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. EVOLVE, which followed in 2017, earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album and unleashed three No. 1 Alternative radio hits: “Believer,” the GRAMMY-nominated “Thunder” and “Whatever It Takes.” All three songs were also top 5 hits at Top 40 radio, with “Thunder” rising to the No. 1 spot. The band’s fourth album, ORIGINS, debuted atop Billboard’s Alternative Albums and Top Rock Albums charts and lead single “Natural” spent nine weeks at No. 1 at alternative radio and set the current record for all-time “most spins in a week” at the format. 

Their highly anticipated fifth studio album   Mercury – Act 1  was released on September 3, 2021. Teaming up with esteemed producer Rick Rubin and with its title drawing inspiration from the word “mercurial,”  Mercury – Act 1   is a candid album that abandons metaphorically charged lyrics and instead embraces emotional extremities, holding nothing back. It marks the band’s first album since 2018’s  ORIGINS .

“Follow You” and “Cutthroat” were the first glimpses into the new record, released simultaneously in March 2021, with the former hitting No. 1 at alternative radio and Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart, marking the band’s quickest ascent to the top of those charts. The album’s current single, “Wrecked,” is a confessional exploration of grief, written by lead vocalist Dan Reynolds after losing his sister-in-law to cancer in 2019.

About Imagine Dragons

Imagine Dragons teamed up with esteemed producer Rick Rubin on Mercury – Act 1, which debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 and at No. 2 on Billboard’s Top Alternative Albums and Top Rock Albums charts. Mercury - Act 1 marks the band’s first new music since their 2018 album Origins, and features the singles “ Wrecked ”, “ Cutthroat ” and “ Follow You .” “Follow You” reached No. 1 on both Mediabase’s Alternative Radio chart and Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart. It marked the band’s quickest ascent to the top of the Billboard chart, surpassing the seven-week climb for “Natural” in 2018 and eight-week climb for “Believer” in 2017.

With 49 million albums and 55 million songs sold globally, as well as 75 billion combined streams, Imagine Dragons remains one of the best-selling rock bands, reinventing the genre with their enormous breakout success across the 2010s.

The album’s current single, “Wrecked,” is a confessional exploration of grief, written by lead vocalist Dan Reynolds after losing his sister-in-law to cancer in 2019.

About Macklemore

Macklemore most recently released his new single “Next Year” featuring Windser (Oct 29). The new record is produced by Ryan Lewis, the first new song the two have made in five years. Macklemore’s next full length project will arrive in 2022.

Multi-platinum and Grammy® award winning rapper Macklemore has made history as an independent artist with a combination of commercial success, critical acclaim and international appeal. Gemini, Macklemore’s first solo effort in 12 years, was released in 2017 and debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and #1 on the charts for Rap, R&B/Hip-Hop, and Independent Albums. Gemini includes three Platinum-certified singles, “Glorious" (featuring Skylar Grey), “Good Old Days” (featuring Kesha) and “Marmalade” (featuring Lil Yachty).

Gemini follows two releases with producer Ryan Lewis: the multiple-Grammy® award winning and multi-platinum album, The Heist (which spawned two #1 singles, the Diamond-certified “Thrift Shop” and multi-platinum “Can’t Hold Us”) and 2016 release This Unruly Mess I’ve Made, which featured the Platinum-certified single “Downtown.”

Collectively Macklemore’s music videos have been viewed over three billion times and he is one of only two rappers to have a Diamond-certified single (“Thrift Shop”).

Recently, the Seattle rapper has featured on international platinum hits “Summer Days,” alongside Martin Garrix and Patrick Stump, and “These Days” with Rudimental, Jess Glynne and Dan Caplen. He’s recently performed on Ellen and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and was a guest artist on NBC’s hit new series Songland.

About Kings Elliot

Introducing herself to the world with a rarely-seen example of complete, raw honesty, the visual for Kings Elliot’s debut single “I’m Getting Tired Of Me” acts as an emotional punch in the gut. A stark piece of candid black and white footage, captured as the half-British, half-Swiss singer had a crippling panic attack whilst shooting what she had intended to be the ‘proper’ video for the track, it’s an uncomfortable image that belies the sweet sounds that surrounded it.

In truth, however, it’s a duality that sits at the heart of everything she creates. On one hand, Kings Elliot is a wildly ambitious artist, who strives to create unique soundscapes for her confessional songs; on the other, she’s a young woman who has had to learn to embrace her struggles, who – having been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder – has fought internal demons her entire life in order to get to this point, and for whom music is not only a want but a need.

If tenacity and perseverance are things Kings Elliot has had to embrace more than most, then the songs that make up debut EP Chaos In My Court – released track-by-track since that debut last year – are testament to the importance of both strength and vulnerability.

Musically, the singer draws inspiration from the wistfully melancholic melodies of the `40s and `50s, realizing that a version of this soothing world was where she needed her own often fraught and turmoil-laden lyrical sentiments to live, turning them into devastating songs that sound uniquely current, yet timeless.

“Dancing Alone,” which details the tricky task of navigating a relationship whilst having Borderline, and cinematic follow-up “Bitter Tonic” – which fills its lyrics with courtly metaphors for struggle and spawned the EP's title – are keen examples of this: tracks that explore dark and difficult emotions with a sweetness of melodic touch. “Call Me A Dreamer” and “The Outsider” complete Kings’ debut EP – the former, a song to her ‘well’ self to remind her that the rollercoaster is still continuing; the latter a yearning lament of someone who wants nothing more than to belong somewhere.

Though Kings Elliot might always consider herself an outsider to some degree, now she has an outlet through which to channel her hopes and fears, with an ever-growing audience and a debut release that acts as an empathetic, important opening statement for an artist destined to mean much to many people.

Event Details

In celebration of the release of their latest album, “Mercury – Act 1,” Imagine Dragons announce their Mercury World Tour. They will be joined by Grandson, who will be a support act on select tour dates, including Raleigh.

​​With 46 million albums and 55 million songs sold globally, as well as 74 billion combined streams, Imagine Dragons remains one of the best-selling rock bands, reinventing the genre with their enormous breakout success across the 2010s. Billboard’s Top 3 rock songs of the decade belonged to the band – “Believer,” “Thunder” and “Radioactive.” Formed in 2009, Imagine Dragons developed a grassroots following with a series of independently released EPs before making their major label debut on KIDinaKORNER/Interscope with the 2012 EP Continued Silence. Night Visions, their 2012 full-length debut, entered the Billboard 200 at No. 2 and the lead-off track “Radioactive” topped Billboard’s Hot Rock Songs chart, won a GRAMMY for Best Rock Performance, and achieved RIAA Diamond status. 2015’s Smoke + Mirrors debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. EVOLVE, which followed in 2017, earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album and unleashed three No. 1 Alternative radio hits: “Believer,” the GRAMMY-nominated “Thunder” and “Whatever It Takes.” All three songs were also top 5 hits at Top 40 radio, with “Thunder” rising to the No. 1 spot. The band’s fourth album, ORIGINS, debuted atop Billboard’s Alternative Albums and Top Rock Albums charts and lead single "Natural" spent nine weeks at No. 1 at alternative radio and set the current record for all-time “most spins in a week” at the format.

Their highly anticipated fifth studio album “Mercury – Act 1” was released on September 3, 2021. Teaming up with esteemed producer Rick Rubin and with its title drawing inspiration from the word “mercurial,” “Mercury – Act 1” is a candid album that abandons metaphorically charged lyrics and instead embraces emotional extremities, holding nothing back. It marks the band’s first album since 2018’s “ORIGINS.”

Imagine Dragons on Upcoming Stadium Tour, Mercury – Act II Album and Why a Bruce Springsteen Collab “Would Be Amazing”

The post Imagine Dragons on Upcoming Stadium Tour, Mercury – Act II Album and Why a Bruce Springsteen Collab “Would Be Amazing” appeared first on Consequence .

With a new album arriving in time for the holiday weekend and a stadium tour kicking off in August, Imagine Dragons are having a fairly excellent summer so far.

Mercury Act II , out today (July 1st), is a continuation of the band’s previous project Mercury Act I. Together, the sister albums serve as an inspiring, heartbreaking ode to the relationships frontman Dan Reynolds has lost; while Mercury Act I (released in September 2021) details the initial shock that comes with death, Act II is an even more intimate gesture that further explores themes of loss and recovery.

Best showcased on the vulnerable track “They Don’t Know You Like I Do,” Reynolds sinks into a deep regret for all that he wished he could’ve done for his close friend before it was too late. In the same vein, “I Wish” details the soul-crushing remorse that comes with indescribable loss.

But the record is not without glimmering moments of hope, too. “It’s really about life and celebrating every day and remembering that it is finite and it can all be gone,” Reynolds tells Consequence, “And being present. I just hope it brings joy, above all, to people’s lives.”

The Rick Rubin-produced project was three years in the making, and Reynolds is more than ready to release these songs into the universe. “It’s been a long time coming… it’s one of those moments where you feel anxious, excited, nervous, and happy,” he says. “I think hopefully we’ll feel relief when it comes out, because we’ve been working on it for three years, and it’s one of those things that we have to let go of and let it in the world.”

On album release eve, between international tour stops — the band had just played the Open Air festival in Poland and was preparing to play Sweden’s Lollapalooza festival later in the day —  Reynolds took some time to dig into Mercury Act II , his work with the LOVELOUD Foundation , dream collaborations and much more.

Give Mercury Act II  a spin, and check out the full Q&A with Reynolds below.

What was the writing process like creating these two albums?

We worked with Rick Rubin on these records, and we knew really early on that it was going to be two records. As we went through the songs on the first record, Rick sat me down and we really talked about the theme of it. We realized early on that Act I was focused on death and kind of those shell-shocked feelings that accompany that, whereas Act II is really post-grief and waking up the next day after you’ve lost someone that you loved.

What does that feel like, and what does it look like? Some days are better than others. Anyone who has ever lost someone that they’re really close to, family or a dear friend, especially when you maybe are with them when they pass, it makes you see everything differently. The presence of every day almost feels like, without sounding too cliche, really feels like a gift after someone that you love passes. So Mercury Act II is focused on post-death and dealing with that grief.

What was it like working with Rick Rubin?

It was really helpful to have some fresh perspectives, especially on our fifth record. There were so many songs. I write every day — I always have since I was 12 — so every record, we have like 200-plus songs to go through because it’s like a journal entry for me. So Rick sat down and was like “send me everything!” and we were like “okay, we’re not going to send you everything, we’ll send you like 70 songs.” So we sent him 70 songs, and he listened to all of them and wrote back this long detailed email, even before we met with tons of notes on every song. That’s when we knew he was the right fit for us. He really cared and put in the time.

I always imagined Rick Rubin as this quiet, reserved, laying-on-the couch — you know, you always see the picture of him laying down — and man of few words. That wasn’t the case. The Rick Rubin that we worked with was first to be there, last to leave, super hands-on, super engaged, but also really cool in all the right ways. He made me sit down and go over every lyric of every song, which is super arduous for me and that was something that I typically wouldn’t do, but it’s Rick Rubin and so I’m not going to say no.

But it was a wonderful experience, and Rick’s more than just a producer now. We’ve become dear friends and I have so much love and respect for him. Lyrics are such a vulnerable thing, and when you’re sitting down with someone and they’re like, “Well, what exactly are you saying in that line, what exactly do you mean?” It’s not always a question you want to answer and especially when it’s someone like Rick Rubin, you feel even more vulnerable about it. But I’m grateful for it, it pushed me.

You’ve mentioned that this new album sounds different from your previous releases. Can you talk a little bit more about that?

Yeah, I think it’s a product of a lot of things. One, obviously working with Rick Rubin really brought a whole different palette to the table. There was a fresh perspective, there was more critical listening, more questioning, more rewriting, and rethinking. Also, we recorded it at his studio, which typically we self-produce out of Las Vegas, at our own studio. Rick’s studio really brings an added sense of organicness, I think, to everything. It’s on the beach, so you feel really connected to nature and the water and catching Rick’s vibe is very vulnerable and spiritual.

Some producers are there to not ruffle feathers. They’re there to help the band get along and they’ll have an opinion but it’s like someone with a brush, painting alongside. Rick really almost felt like sometimes he would grab your hand and help you paint. He never wants to change what you’re doing but he really has strong opinions and thoughts and voices them. I think that brought a very new shade and approach that we needed, so I’m glad that you hear that.

What do you want fans to take away from the new album?

I think above all, anyone who has lost someone that they love, is a really earth-shattering, devastating experience to go through. I wrote this record during a time period when I lost my best friend since middle school, who took his own life. My sister-in-law passed away from cancer really abruptly within a year, leaving behind her six kids. My ex-girlfriend passed away from leukemia. It was just, horrible. Have you ever had a friend who suddenly within two years they lose so many people? It’s one of those things where sometimes it rains, and when it rains, it pours.

Those people who lose their mom and then they lose their dad the next year, I don’t understand how it works. But for whatever reason, that was a big theme in my life for the past five years and I wanted to at least be able to memorialize them and those relationships on songs like “They Don’t Know You Like I Do,” which is about my best friend, or “Waves.” “I Wish” was about my sister-in-law.

Long story short, I hope that people are able to find some sort of cathartic release. But also joy. This record isn’t supposed to be a sad, morbid, record. It’s really about life and celebrating every day and remembering that it is finite and it can all be gone. And being present. I just hope it brings joy, above all, to people’s lives.

The “Bones” music video was “Thriller” -meets-zombies-meets-Wall Street. How did you land on that concept?

My kids’ favorite music video is “Thriller,” and it’s also one of my favorite music videos. It sits in the middle of being a little scary — I remember as a young kid watching it, and being a little scared — but [it’s] also addictive. It really gave me that feeling of “I want to watch it again because it scares me a little bit.” It’s also the energy of it. Certainly, that was a huge inspiration. Bringing the Wolf of Wall Street approach to it felt like a fun thing to explore.

Typically with all of our music videos, I’ll wake up and have an idea and I’ll talk to my wife about it — she’s like the secret behind everything Imagine Dragons, she’s an incredible artist herself. Or she’ll wake up and have an idea and that’ll be a music video. We’ll go to find a great director and I’ll help flesh it out. That’s been the case for every music video, it really started as a dream or as a thought from a night, I’ll discuss things with her, and it was the same thing for “Bones.”

Mercury Act I was released during the pandemic, and the last time you toured was in 2018 for Origins . Now that you’ve been back on the road for a bit, what does it feel like to finally play shows again?

It’s such a blessing to be able to do this right now, especially with how crazy everything is, politically. It’s just like, we’re living in such a crazy time and it’s really easy to get caught up in it all, feel like doom and gloom. Almost every night, I get to get on the stage and see the best part of humanity, which is people gathered together and being united for music. Celebrating lives and so especially post-COVID, there’s a deeper hunger for human interaction. I can see some of the joy in people’s lives, just for being able to be out amongst each other.

Seeing each other smile, and seeing each other’s faces. There’s deeper gratitude for everything because it’s been taken away in the last few years. So it’s been a really deep blessing. I feel so lucky to be able to do this every day and constantly be reminded about the good things about humanity rather than just always opening up the news every day and lingering in that world.

Do you feel there’s a difference between playing in a festival setting versus playing a solo Imagine Dragons show?

I don’t feel like I really feel that much of a difference, only because I don’t think I let myself think about it much. I get up on stage and I try to go where I was when I wrote that song, and that’s my main goal, to bring the true spirit of each song to each stage. That could be in a small room of 100 people, it could be a stadium of 30,000 people or a festival of 100,000 people — it’s kind of the same thing to me. I’m always looking out to the faces that I can see, connecting with those people, and relaying those songs in the most honest way I can. So I feel like I approach it all the same.

How do you put together a setlist these days?

It’s really difficult. Honestly, it’s difficult at this point. And we’re about to put out a record with 18 songs on it. We have so many songs at this point, it’s the opposite problem that we used to have. I remember our first record, when Night Visions came out, and it blew up. We weren’t expecting it, and we were slotted high at a lot of these festivals and we would have over an hour set time. We didn’t have enough music and that was always intimidating.

Now, it’s the opposite problem; we get on stage and we’re given two hours and we’re headlining these festivals and we’re like, “How do we play all these songs that we want to play?” And we can’t. So we just change the setlist a lot, but it’s really hard to pick. You want to play all your new music but you also want to play the songs that the fans want to hear. So you kind of go somewhere in the middle.

You’ve collaborated with JID, Lil Wayne, X Ambassadors, and so many others. What do you look for in a collaborator?

I think from our very first collaboration, which was with Kendrick [Lamar] on “Radioactive,” it was the same approach. If something feels effortless and it comes together very easily and likemindedness in the creating room, then I’m always open to it. It’s super fun and interesting to see the talent in other artists and vibe and feel what they’re into and create that way. There’s no difference with JID; we immediately connected. The collaboration came so easily, and we’ve never done a collaboration that was different. If something comes along naturally and easily, I’m always inspired by that.

Is there anyone that you still have on the wishlist?

I really feel like I’m just kind of riding the waves of life and whatever comes along. But whenever something comes along and it feels natural… it’s typically when I’m at some place and I see an artist that I love and we start talking and then somehow we’ll maybe start creating. You never even know if there’s something that will turn out as a song or not. I don’t know, I mean I think Kanye. I’m always inspired by him, I think he’s an incredible artist and producer and was able to spend some time with him and sit down and listen to his record at the time that he was working on it. I’m always inspired by him. Neil Diamond or Bruce Springsteen would be amazing. Those would be dreams. Cat Stevens.

The LOVELOUD festival returned this year after a few years off due to COVID. What were the main takeaways from this year’s fest? Are you thinking about the 2023 edition yet, or are you still riding the high off of this past festival?

It’s always such a beautiful evening. Probably the highlight of my year, truly, every year. LOVELOUD was no different this year — it was fantastic, and the people of Utah really came out. And it’s crazy because people travel from all over the world to come to LOVELOUD, so I think speaking on that note, our next goal [is to reach] a lot of communities that need LOVELOUD; it’s not just Utah. Anywhere that is primarily Orthodox or deep Orthodox faith-based, those can be extremely dangerous for our LBGTQ+ youth, and often places where you have these children who are raised in homes with conflicting feelings because they’re being taught that their innate sense of being is flawed or sinful. [It’s about] having those conversations with families about how important it is to love and celebrate your LGBTQ youth, especially in these faith-based communities. That’s needed in the US, it’s needed all over the world.

So our long-term goal is really to bring LOVELOUD to the world and to as many cities as we can. Utah was the starting ground because it’s the faith that I was raised around and it was the community that I knew. It was a testing ground and the number one reason for death among teenagers is suicide. It’s needed everywhere, so that’s the long-term goal, and next year hopefully we’ll be able to branch a little bit, so we’ll see.

Who Is Imagine Dragons’ Opening Act? An Interview and Behind-the-Scenes Look

By Happy Sharer

Introduction

Imagine Dragons is a popular rock band whose music has been featured in movies, commercials, and even video games. With such a large fan base, it’s no surprise that they often tour with other bands as their opening act. But who is this mysterious opening act? This article will provide an in-depth look at who is currently the opening act for Imagine Dragons, including an interview with the band and a behind-the-scenes look at their rehearsals and performance.

Interview with Imagine Dragons Opening Act

The opening act for Imagine Dragons on their current tour is a band called The Antlers. They are a five-piece indie rock band from Los Angeles, California. We spoke to bassist Matt Lippert about why they were chosen to be the opening act, their experiences touring with Imagine Dragons, and what sets them apart from other bands.

When asked how they were chosen to be the opening act, Matt said, “We were contacted by Imagine Dragons’ management team and asked if we would be interested in joining them on tour. We were really excited to get the opportunity and jumped at the chance.” He went on to explain that he believes the band was chosen because of their unique sound and energy, which is something that Imagine Dragons looks for in their opening acts.

Matt also talked about their experiences on the tour so far. “It’s been an amazing experience. The crowds have been really responsive and we’ve made some great connections with other bands on the tour. Everyone has been really friendly and welcoming.” He went on to say that they’ve learned a lot from watching Imagine Dragons perform each night and that they’re grateful for the opportunity.

Finally, we asked Matt what sets The Antlers apart from other bands. He replied, “I think our sound is really unique. We like to mix elements of indie rock, folk, and pop into our songs. We also put a lot of emphasis on our live show, so we always try to bring a lot of energy to our performances.”

Behind the Scenes Look at Rehearsals

To get a better understanding of what goes into preparing for a show, we got a behind-the-scenes look at the band’s rehearsal process. The band spends hours each day rehearsing their setlist and perfecting their performance. During our visit, we noticed that the band had a very relaxed attitude towards their rehearsals.

Imagine Dragons at Shoreline Amphitheatre

Imagine dragons tickets, shoreline amphitheatre | mountain view, california.

It's time for a new age of the biggest pop-rock anthems by the one and only Imagine Dragons. The band behind mega-smash hits "Believer", "Demons", "Radioactive", and many more, is taking on a new era. Following the release of their 2021 record "Mercury – Act 1", Imagine Dragons is embarking on The Mercury World Tour, hitting the stage at Shoreline Amphitheatre on Thursday, September 8, 2022. With act 1 of their latest record out last year, fans have been itching to hear its second act. As 2022 came rising, the band just dropped their newest single "Bones" which gives us a glimpse of the much-awaited Act 2 of Mercury. It's a night of their biggest hits, fan favorites, and new music live on stage. Book your tickets now!

Imagine Dragons took the world by storm with their debut album "Night Visions" in 2012. The album spawned smash hits "It's Time", "Demons", "On Top of the World", and "Radioactive". These singles marked massive commercial success for the band's major-label debut.

Though what seemed like a band that gained massive fame in a short amount of time, Imagine Dragons actually traces its humble beginnings to 2008 when vocalist Dan Reynolds met former drummer Andrew Tolman in university. The two recruited people and eventually formed what we would all know as Imagine Dragons. They released a number of EPs and played small live shows.

2009 marked a highlight for the bands when they performed for over 26,000 people at the Bite of Las Vegas Festival 2009, filling in for Train as Pat Monahan felt ill before the show. They started gaining more attention in the music scene, with Las Vegas Weekly naming them the "Best Local Indie Band 2010".

By 2011, they signed with Interscope and released their debut record "Night Visions" in 2012. The album's single "Radioactive" made history spending 87 weeks in the Hot 100, the longest to do so up until The Weeknd broke the record in 2021.

From then on, Imagine Dragons continued serving radioactive hits that dominated the world in their succeeding albums. More of their smash hits include "On Top of the World", "Thunder", "Follow You", and "Shots". Billboard says that "Believer", "Thunder", and "Radioactive" were 2010's three best performing rock songs.

Imagine Dragons is made up of vocalist Dan Reynolds, Wayne Sermon on guitars, Ben McKee on bass, and drummer Daniel Platzman. Altogether, they continue bringing radioactive energy to the band's music and live shows.

With the release of "Mercury – Act 1" and its second act real soon, fans are pumped up to catch Imagine Dragons performing live on stage on the Mercury Tour. As they sing 'Cause there's magic in my bones in their newest single, the magic is finally coming alive as Imagine Dragons kickstart the tour. So, join the crowd and don't miss out by booking your tickets now!
