Imagine Dragons Announce 2026 Global Tour — Dates and Cities Revealed: A Worldwide Celebration of Energy, Emotion, and Evolution
The wait is over — and it’s bigger than anyone imagined! Imagine Dragons, the multi-platinum, Grammy-winning rock band known for their explosive anthems and emotionally charged performances, have officially announced their 2026 Global Tour. Fans across the world are in for an electrifying experience as the band prepares to hit the road for what promises to be one of the most ambitious and dynamic tours of their career.
A Global Journey Like Never Before
The Imagine Dragons 2026 Global Tour, titled “Origins Reimagined”, will kick off in May 2026 in Las Vegas, the band’s hometown, before traveling across North America, Europe, Asia, South America, Africa, and Australia. The tour is being described as a “full-circle journey” — not only celebrating Imagine Dragons’ incredible decade-long rise to superstardom but also marking the beginning of a new era for the group.
“We wanted to make this tour the most personal and powerful one yet,” said Dan Reynolds, the band’s lead vocalist, during a livestream announcement that drew millions of fans worldwide. “Every city, every song, every moment — it’s about reconnecting with our roots, our fans, and the reason we started making music in the first place.”
The official tour poster, released on the band’s social media platforms, features a striking image of a phoenix rising — symbolizing rebirth, strength, and renewal — themes that have always been central to the band’s music and message.
Dates and Cities Revealed
The 2026 Global Tour will span over 70 cities across six continents, showcasing Imagine Dragons’ status as one of the most globally beloved acts of their generation.

Additional tour dates are expected to be announced in the coming months, with the band teasing potential surprise stops in smaller, intimate venues as part of a special “Fan Connection” segment of the tour.
A Show That Redefines Spectacle
Imagine Dragons have long been known for their spectacular live performances — a mix of heart-thumping percussion, soaring vocals, and stunning visuals — but insiders say this tour will take things to an entirely new level.
The band’s creative team has reportedly designed a 360-degree stage experience, allowing fans to feel immersed in the performance no matter where they sit. Advanced LED visuals, holographic projections, and eco-powered light shows will accompany the band’s biggest hits, including “Believer,” “Radioactive,” “Demons,” “Whatever It Takes,” and “Thunder.”
Each concert will also feature a rotating acoustic segment, where the band strips down their sound to perform fan-favorite deep cuts and unreleased material. “We want to make every night different,” said Reynolds. “No two shows will be the same. We’re bringing back spontaneity — the rawness of live music that connects artist and audience.”
The Heart Behind the Hype
For Imagine Dragons, the 2026 Global Tour isn’t just about music — it’s about meaning. After years of navigating fame, personal struggles, and global success, the band has entered what they describe as their “most honest chapter yet.”
In recent interviews, Reynolds has spoken candidly about the emotional toll of constant touring and how the band’s connection with fans helped them stay grounded. “Music saved me, and I know it’s done the same for others,” he said. “This tour is our way of giving back that same energy — that hope — to every person who’s ever found strength in our songs.”
Beyond the music, the tour will also spotlight mental health awareness and social causes, issues close to the band’s heart. Portions of ticket proceeds will go toward supporting global mental health organizations, youth empowerment programs, and environmental initiatives — continuing Imagine Dragons’ tradition of using their platform for positive impact.
A Decade of Defining Modern Rock
Since their debut in the early 2010s, Imagine Dragons have redefined the boundaries of modern rock, fusing electronic textures, emotional storytelling, and thunderous rhythms into a sound that resonates across generations. Their albums — from “Night Visions” and “Smoke + Mirrors” to “Evolve” and “Mercury” — have topped charts and earned billions of streams worldwide.
Their resilience, versatility, and authenticity have earned them a reputation not just as hitmakers, but as a band that continually evolves while staying true to their core — vulnerability, honesty, and hope.
Fans React: “The World’s About to Get Loud Again”
The announcement sent shockwaves across social media, with hashtags like #ImagineDragons2026 and #OriginsReimaginedTour trending globally within minutes. Fans expressed their excitement, disbelief, and gratitude for the chance to see the band perform live again.
“This band’s music got me through some of the hardest moments of my life,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “I can’t wait to scream those lyrics back to them one last time.”
Another user commented, “Imagine Dragons concerts aren’t just shows — they’re therapy sessions set to drums and lightning. Count me in!”
Looking to the Future
While the 2026 tour will celebrate Imagine Dragons’ legacy, it may also mark a turning point for the band. In interviews, Reynolds hinted that this could be one of their final large-scale tours before they take time to focus on smaller projects and family life. “We’ve been running nonstop for over a decade,” he said. “This tour feels like both a celebration and a pause — a chance to reflect and recharge.”
Whether it’s a new beginning or a grand farewell, one thing is certain: Imagine Dragons’ 2026 Global Tour will be nothing short of monumental. With their signature blend of passion, power, and purpose, the band is set to remind the world why their music continues to move millions.
As Dan Reynolds summed it up perfectly:
“The stage isn’t just where we perform — it’s where we connect. And in 2026, we’re ready to connect with the world again, louder and more alive than ever.”
