The announcement comes after months of speculation about when the Las Vegas-born band would hit the road again. Known for their powerhouse live performances and chart-topping hits, Imagine Dragons have built a reputation for creating concert experiences that transcend music, blending light, sound, and raw energy into something unforgettable.
The Light Up the Globe World Tour will kick off in March 2026 in North America, with a series of massive arena and stadium shows. Major cities on the schedule include Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Toronto, and Miami, where demand is expected to send tickets flying as soon as they go on sale.
From there, the band will bring their explosive sound across Europe, with stops in London, Berlin, Paris, Madrid, and Rome, performing in some of the most iconic stadiums on the continent. Fans in South America will also get their chance to witness the spectacle, with Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, and Santiago all included in the lineup.
Asia and Australia are also on the map, as the Dragons take their music to Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai, and Sydney. This truly global reach highlights the band’s massive international appeal and their commitment to connecting with fans all around the world.
What sets this tour apart is not only its scale but its ambition. Imagine Dragons have hinted that the production will be their most technologically advanced yet, featuring cutting-edge stage design, jaw-dropping visuals, and a light show worthy of the tour’s title. Expect dazzling pyrotechnics, immersive LED displays, and the kind of arena-shaking energy that has made their concerts legendary.
Frontman Dan Reynolds shared his excitement in a statement, saying, “We’ve always believed in the power of music to bring people together, and this tour is about uniting fans around the world. We can’t wait to share this experience with everyone—it’s going to be bigger, louder, and brighter than ever before.”
Fans can expect to hear a setlist packed with hits spanning the band’s entire career. Anthems like “Radioactive,” “Believer,” “Thunder,” and “Demons” are guaranteed crowd-pleasers, while newer tracks from their most recent albums will showcase their evolving sound. There are also whispers of unreleased material making its debut during the tour, adding another layer of excitement.
Beyond the music, the Light Up the Globe tour is shaping up to be a cultural moment. Imagine Dragons have long been admired not only for their artistry but also for their advocacy, often using their platform to support causes such as mental health awareness and LGBTQ+ rights. Their concerts are known to be spaces of unity and empowerment, and this tour will no doubt carry that same spirit.
Ticket sales are expected to be record-breaking, with presales opening next week for fan club members, followed by general sales shortly after. With demand already at a fever pitch, fans are being urged to act quickly to secure their spots at what is being hailed as one of the must-see tours of the decade.
