About two shows ago
From my experience this sub is mostly European and American fans, so I don’t know how many people was at the two HK shows. But especially after the second night I was not sure about if Dan is getting enough rest. I’m also not ignoring rest of the band members, but since I don’t play an instrument I can’t really tell how well or poorly Wayne or Ben is doing.
I’m not talking about the setlist, not talking about the venue, not talking about anything else besides Dan’s condition. After the first night, I went to the hotel bar to grab some food, ran into a couple production members. The person, who I later found out controls the audio department (FOH), said that the moment Dan started singing he felt like Dan’s not well. I thought he was being overly critical as I had a great experience at the show and maybe because he hears what comes directly out from Dan’s mic he could hear something the audience wouldn’t hear.
But the second night, when I might’ve been a little more calm and more focused on the music, I can hear that around the 4th song (Tiptoe) he started to struggle a bit with higher notes, his voice was more hoarse, and throughout the show he pointed the mic at the audience more than night 1. The worst part was when he wasn’t able to hit a note during one of the songs. (I wore ear plugs, when I take them out Dan sounded fine for the most part)
This isn’t a complaint about the show, I really enjoyed it and had great time staying in the hotel the crew is at and being able to chat with a few of them. Dan made his best effort to keep the audience engaged and excited (and I think the great majority did). But I’m simply worried that Dan might not making through the European tour, if he’s having issues on night 6 of a 7 show leg.
Anyways, I hope the band gets the rest they deserve and hope to see them in the future.
What’s one song that no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to understand
this could be a music video an explanation of something or just a specific song in general.
Hey y'all! I'm looking for any high quality photos anyone may have from any of the Loom shows - working on commemorative tickets for a friend. I couldn't get any since we way in the back, but if anyone has decent photos from the shows (especially if they were of the band/and or the stage) and wouldn't mind sharing them, I'd greatly appreciate it! I also would love photos of the opener, if anyone has some of those!
Thank you in advance!! <3
Hi everyone!
I have one question :). I am not native, english is my second language :). I am trying to understand all ID songs, in many cases I am succesful :). But i can't find out what does word opus from song Hopeless opus mean, I am really curious :), what opus is. And I really dont know why is in this song words like cherry bomb, mr postman, and who is cageman etc. Could someome explain me meanings of opus and whole song? Thanks a lot, I am really curious:).
Personally, I think anything from Origins would be great, especially Boomerang and Bullet in a Gun. Maybe Believer or Demons would sound great too.
I like their pop songs too but I like their more serious and dark ones Like giants I'm so sorry cutthroat and machine In my opinion I think machine is serious
Ngl i'm little disappointed with current setlist... It's not bad but i think we would want to hear more other songs than those that were on Mercury Tour and those from the new album right? For example Monster/Gold, Rise Up, maybe something from Origins. I'm seeing Dragons on July and can't wait 🔥🎸 It will be second time so maybe that's why i want some older songs lol. What do you think?
Hey guys! I was wondering if you have some lyrics (by Imagine Dragons of course) that are funny, weird... without context (or even with 🤷♂️)
I go first: "I live until I die" (Higher Ground) It is a funny because it doesn't make sense... I mean, that's just logic! 😭 You live until you die, that's how things work 😂
Those who have been an active fan of Imagine Dragons for a long time (specially at the time when Mercury Act 1 released). We all know about the song 'Imagine Dragons' by Ragged Insomnia and we all know that it was by the members of Imagine Dragons. But what was the point of releasing like this? Is that for a hint of a mystery or just keeping the hype among fans. It's been 3 years and I still don't have any clue.
He’s of English, 5/32 Danish, 1/16th German, Scots-Irish/Northern Irish, Welsh, Manx, Scottish, Irish, French and remote Dutch descent
He’s the ONLY original member remaining
Reynolds cites Arcade Fire, Nirvana, Muse, The Beatles, Paul Simon, Coldplay, Linkin Park,[71] Harry Nilsson, and U2 as some of his and the band's artistic influences.
He credits bands like Foster the People and Mumford & Sons for bringing alternative pop music to a new level of commercial success in recent years.
On March 5, 2011, Reynolds married Aja Volkman. The two have three daughters and a son. Their first daughter was born on August 18, 2012. Their fraternal twin daughters were born on March 28, 2017. Their son was born on October 1, 2019.[73][74] On April 26, 2018, Reynolds announced that after just over seven years of being married, he and Volkman would divorce.[75] On November 7, 2018, Reynolds announced, along with the release of the Imagine Dragons song "Bad Liar", that he and Volkman never went through with the divorce, that she helped co-write the song with him earlier in the year, and they were together once again.[76] On September 16, 2022, Reynolds announced that he and Volkman were again separating.[77] Volkman officially filed for divorce on April 18, 2023. The filing arrived months after the couple announced their separation.[78] The divorce was finalized on March 26, 2024.
Reynolds suffers from ankylosing spondylitis, which he announced during a concert at the First Direct Arena in Leeds in 2015 during the band's Smoke + Mirrors tour.[80] In 2016 he partnered with Novartis's ThisASLife to raise awareness about the severe inflammatory disease.[80] During the same year, Reynolds said in an interview that he had been heavily depressed for the past two years and often sees a therapist.[81] He has also suffered from ulcerative colitis since the age of 21.[80] Many songs on Night Visions were inspired by his depression. He aims to destigmatize and change how society sees depression and the act of seeking professional help.[82] In April 2018, he began to talk about his physical and mental health struggles on his social media accounts and continues to offer encouraging messages of support to his fans and others struggling as well.[83] Reynolds and his mother Christene appear in the Paramount+ series From Cradle to Stage, hosted by Dave Grohl and his mother Virginia Hanlon Grohl. The Reynolds episode aired on May 6, 2021.
Reynolds grew up in the LDS Church but has stated he has doctrinal disagreements with the church's stance on homosexuality.
During a 2021 interview with Attitude he described himself as "non-Mormon";[86] the following month, he stated "I'm not raising my kids in any religiousness if that means anything. I'm more spiritual based and religion hasn't really been my cup of tea."[87] Reynolds has since left the church.
Reynolds is a practitioner of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and he competed in the white belt division of a Jiu-Jitsu World League tournament at UCLA on July 2, 2023, winning a bronze medal.
In my previous post, I shared an in-depth analysis of the LOOM World Tour, exploring its highlights and some opportunities for improvement. From appreciating the emotional depth of the songs to suggesting the return of mashups and acoustic moments, I dove into what makes Imagine Dragons’ concerts so special. If you haven’t seen it yet, feel free to check it out here!
Now, inspired by those reflections, I’ve decided to create my very own dream setlist. Whether it’s bringing back forgotten gems, spotlighting fan favorites, or reimagining the flow of the show, this is how I’d structure the ultimate LOOM Tour concert. Let’s see if it matches your ideas too! 🚀

After analyzing the current setlist and reflecting on the possibilities, I created a version that tries to balance both the past and present of the band. My setlist is a reflection of the solutions I proposed in my previous analysis, aiming for a better distribution of songs across albums, bringing a mix of older tracks and newer ones to please all types of fans.
Here’s the balance I aimed for:
In structuring the setlist, I chose to prioritize older songs, especially from Night Vision and Smoke + Mirrors, as it was one of the solutions proposed in my previous analysis. The idea was to create a show with a good variety and balance, where the audience could relive the classics while appreciating the new material. The inclusion of mashups was also something I aimed to bring, as they create a special energy and a different dynamic for the show, and they are a great way to connect songs from different albums.
It’s important to remember that this is all just a fun exercise – this is not an official setlist, but rather an attempt to bring together the best of both worlds: the past and the present of the band. Additionally, I tried to focus on the diversity of tracks, not just based on personal tastes, but striving for a real balance, as proposed earlier.
Now, for the final part of this fun exercise: I think it would be amazing to implement the idea of a "surprise song" for each show or specific regions. The idea would be to include a song that has never been played live before, like West Coast or Higher Ground. This could be a way to bring something truly unique to each performance, creating special moments for fans who have always dreamed of hearing these tracks live.
It’s not always possible to please everyone, and some songs that could have made the list, like the mashup of Hopeless Opus with Polaroid or The Fall, were left out. In the end, the goal was to create a fun, dynamic setlist that honors the band’s history while still considering the wishes of fans from different eras.
Now it's your turn! What songs do you think were missing from this setlist? Is there any track you’d love to see live? Drop your comments and let’s keep this conversation going!

I recently stumbled across a few videos on the Imagine Dragons Live yt channel and apparently, they have something to do with a puzzle? There are 4 videos labeled ‘secret_1-4’ and a song by Ragged Insomnia. Has the puzzle been solved?

Been wanting this bad boy for years
I live in Europe and I wanted to order a vynil from the UK store but when I wanted to check out and fill in my adress it told me that my order cannot be shipped to the selected address. Although when I wanted to check out without a vinyl and only some merch like clothes then it didn't have any problems. Can someone tell me why? Or is there any other way i can get my hands on a vinyl? Thank you!
