Imagine Dragons Announce 2026 “LOOM World Tour” — A Monumental New Chapter for the Band
Launching in early 2026, the LOOM World Tour marks a defining moment in the career of Imagine Dragons, one of the most electrifying and influential rock bands of the modern era. The announcement has sent shockwaves across the music world, as fans eagerly prepare for what promises to be the band’s most ambitious, emotionally charged, and visually stunning live experience yet.
Following the success of their 2023 album LOOM, which topped charts worldwide and showcased a new depth in the band’s sound, the upcoming world tour is being hailed as a celebration of resilience, creativity, and evolution. Imagine Dragons — fronted by the ever-charismatic Dan Reynolds, alongside Wayne Sermon (guitar), Ben McKee (bass), and Daniel Platzman (drums) — are gearing up to take audiences on a journey that blends raw emotion with cutting-edge production.
A Tour That Redefines the Imagine Dragons Era
Kicking off in February 2026 in Las Vegas, the band’s hometown, the LOOM World Tour will span five continents, including stops in major cities like Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Sydney, São Paulo, and Johannesburg. According to the official statement, this tour will be “a vibrant exploration of sound and light — where every note tells a story of growth, unity, and hope.”
“This tour represents everything we’ve been through — personally, creatively, and spiritually,” said Dan Reynolds during the press announcement. “LOOM was an album born out of transformation, and the live show is going to reflect that. It’s about weaving together the darkness and the light — the challenges and the triumphs — into one powerful experience.”
The LOOM World Tour will feature a completely new stage design, built around the concept of “threads of light,” symbolizing human connection through sound. Fans can expect breathtaking visuals, immersive lighting effects, and the kind of high-energy performance that has become synonymous with Imagine Dragons’ live shows.
Setlist and Musical Evolution
The setlist is expected to include the band’s biggest anthems — “Radioactive,” “Believer,” “Demons,” “Thunder,” “Whatever It Takes,” and “Bones” — alongside new tracks from the LOOM album such as “Eyes Closed,” “Wake Up,” and “Take Me To The Fire.” Critics have praised LOOM for its introspective lyrics and experimental production, calling it the band’s “boldest and most human” record yet.
Wayne Sermon, the band’s lead guitarist, teased that the tour would feature live reimaginings of several fan-favorite songs. “We’ve reworked a few classics to fit the emotional tone of the LOOM era,” Sermon said. “This show is more than just a concert — it’s storytelling through sound.”
In addition to their own catalog, the band has hinted at collaborations and guest appearances during select shows, further building excitement among fans.
Fan Excitement Reaches New Heights
Following the announcement, social media exploded with reactions from fans around the world. Within hours, “#LOOMWorldTour” was trending globally on X (formerly Twitter), with thousands of fans sharing their excitement and memories from past Imagine Dragons shows.
“This is not just a concert — it’s a spiritual experience,” one fan wrote. “Every time I’ve seen Imagine Dragons live, I’ve left feeling inspired and full of energy. I can’t wait to see what they do this time.”
The band has long been known for their close relationship with fans, often using their platform to promote mental health awareness, self-acceptance, and resilience. Dan Reynolds’ personal journey — including his openness about anxiety and family life — has resonated deeply with listeners, making Imagine Dragons not just a band, but a voice of strength for millions.
A Message of Hope and Humanity
Beyond the music, the LOOM World Tour aims to carry a message of unity and healing. The tour’s official tagline — “From darkness, we weave the light” — reflects Imagine Dragons’ ongoing theme of transformation and empowerment.
“The world has been through so much in the past few years,” Reynolds said. “We want this tour to be a space where people come together, let go of their worries, and just feel connected again. That’s what music is meant to do.”
Imagine Dragons’ commitment to giving back will also continue during the LOOM World Tour. A portion of the tour’s proceeds will go to LOVELOUD Foundation, the nonprofit organization founded by Reynolds to support LGBTQ+ youth and mental health initiatives.

In a world that often feels divided, Imagine Dragons are once again proving that music can be a powerful force for connection and hope.

“Every show is a reminder that we’re not alone — we’re all part of the same fabric. And together, we can create something beautiful.”
