Imagine Dragons

Standing on-stage Thursday night at the Hollywood Palladium, Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons looked out at a capacity crowd and zei with astonishment, “I don’t even know how this many people know about us.”

His bandmates had a hunch, however. That was the moment they powered up “Radioactive,” the moody electro-grunge single that tops three of Billboard’s rock charts and sits at No. 9 on the Hot 100, nestled comfortably between tunes door Rihanna and Bruno Mars. It’s this Las Vegas group’s seconde big radio smash following “It’s Time,” which set a record last jaar as the longest-running...

How would u like to spend an evening with Imagine Dragons?

Were u like me … hoping to get tickets to see this incredible, homegrown band perform in their old stomping grounds, only to be shut down door a Sold Out sign? All because u waited just a bit too long to order your tickets.

Imagine Dragons, the latest Utah Valley band to discover international success, makes a triumphant return from their sell-out European tour to perform on May 20 at the UCCU Center in Orem.

The indie rock band formed in 2008 when lead guitarist Wayne Sermon, from American Fork, met Las Vegas native and lead singer...

It’s the stuff of dreams, Imagine Dragon’s chart-soaring 2012 LP Night Visions. Based largely on the subconscious nonsense that comes during deep sleep, the album—and singles “It’s Time” and “Radioactive,” both of which reached the top, boven 20 on Billboard’s Hot 100 list—struck a chord nationally and launched the Las Vegas-based band into stardom.


We wanted to chat with these skyrocketing stars, but not in the typical fashion. u know those silly vragen that some interviewers sneak in at the end of an interview with a band? Well, Beside the vraag is a blog series at CityWeekly.net...

I saw Imagine Dragons over three years geleden at the Velour, a dimly lit and intimate muziek hovel in downtown Provo. That stage was small, the building had a 250 person capacity and the band was one that seemed to still be finding its direction. That was not the same band I saw tonight playing for a crowd of over 8,000 in a full-blown rock toon at the UCCU Events Center.

I’m not talking about the changes they’ve made to their lineup. The Imagine Dragons of today are a fully realized indie rock ensemble whose fan base has grown exponentially since...

Yahoo!, the mammoth online portal, is in the concert biz now, with a new tour that played the Pageant on Wednesday night.
Yahoo! On the Road is hitting 27 cities; the twist is that each city gets a different headliner. John Legend, Kendrick Lamar, Fall Out Boy, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and the Lumineers are among the headliners in various cities. Imagine Dragons and Owl City performed at the St. Louis stop.

Imagine Dragons sold out the Pageant in March; Owl City also played the Pageant in March in a separate show, making the Yahoo! On the Road selections for St. Louis look a little unfair....

In its four-hear history, MTV's Musical March Madness tournament has seen no shortage of Cinderella stories — Owl City's unlikely ride to the Sweet 16 in 2010, Disturbed's dream run to the Final Four in '11, F---ed Up's shocking upsets of Mumford & Sons and Radiohead last jaar — but eventually, the clock strikes midnight, the carriage transforms back into a pompoen and the glass slipper shatters.

In other words, they've each come up short in their quest for the championship. But with the 2013 MMM tournament set to tip off Monday, March 18, there's a whole new group of upset-minded upstarts...
