About Imagine Dragons 

Imagine Dragons is a multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning American pop rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada. Formed in 2009 as a self-identifying “genreless” band, Imagine Dragons developed a grassroots following with their series of independently released EPs before their major label debut on KIDinaKORNER/Interscope with their 2012 EP, “Continued Silence.” The band’s 2012 full-length album, “Night Visions,” 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. The band saw continued success with their subsequent albums: “Smoke + Mirrors,” “Evolve,” “Origins,” and most recently, “Mercury: Act 1.” Today, Imagine Dragons is one of the best-selling rock bands of all time with 46 million albums and 55 million songs sold globally, as well as 74 billion combined streams. You can hear their current singles, “Enemy” and “Bones”, both out now
