Imagine Dragons are back—and this time, they’re taking fans on a journey that promises to be out of this world. After months of cryptic social-media teasers, the Las Vegas rock titans have finally announced their 2026 “Eclipsed Horizons” World Tour, an ambitious global trek that’s being billed as their most visually explosive and emotionally charged production yet. From holographic dragons to solar-powered stage rigs, the band is rewriting what a live concert can be.
Frontman Dan Reynolds hinted at the project earlier this year, describing it as “a show that bends light and emotion—music that feels like standing inside a sunrise and a storm at once.” Now, the group has revealed a sprawling schedule of more than forty cities across five continents, confirming that Imagine Dragons are aiming for nothing less than a full-blown sensory eclipse.
A Cosmic Stage Experience
The “Eclipsed Horizons” concept centers on duality—light versus shadow, creation versus collapse. Production insiders claim the band will use AI-driven lighting systems, augmented-reality effects, and a 360-degree rotating stage designed to make audiences feel like they’re drifting through space. Rumor has it that each concert will begin with a countdown to a simulated solar eclipse projected on massive LED domes, synchronized with the opening track “Dark Sun Rising,” a yet-to-be-released single from the group’s upcoming album.
The setlist, according to early leaks, will blend fan favorites like Believer, Radioactive, and Demons with new songs said to explore themes of transformation and hope after chaos. Guitarist Wayne Sermon teased that the visuals for the encore will feature “real-time constellations from that night’s sky,” making every performance unique to its location.
North America Ignites the Fire
The tour ignites on May 25, 2026, in Imagine Dragons’ home turf of Las Vegas, Nevada, before roaring through North America. Fans can expect explosive nights at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium, Chicago’s Soldier Field, and New York’s Madison Square Garden. Canadian stops in Toronto and Vancouver will feature a special light show visible from blocks away—perfect for anyone who couldn’t score a ticket in time.
Europe Awaits the Eclipse
By August, the band will cross the Atlantic for a European leg beginning in London’s O2 Arena, followed by Paris, Berlin, Stockholm, Madrid, and Rome. In a statement released by the band’s creative director, the European shows will introduce a “shadow-symphony sequence” in which classical string sections from local orchestras join the band live for a haunting reinterpretation of Bones and Enemy.
Asia, Oceania, and Beyond
September through November brings the group to Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok, Sydney, and Auckland. Each show will include region-specific collaborations—Japanese artist Kenshi Yonezu is rumored to appear in Tokyo, while Australian DJ Flume may remix “Thunder” live in Sydney. The finale? A monumental December 3 concert in Johannesburg, South Africa, where the band plans to perform under a custom solar-eclipse dome visible from the surrounding hills.
Tickets, Merch, and Fan Secrets
Tickets are set to “drop like meteors” on November 15, 2025, with VIP “Starlight Passes” granting fans access to sound checks, exclusive galaxy-themed merchandise, and a chance to appear in the band’s documentary Chasing the Eclipse. Fans can also pre-order limited-edition tour NFTs that unlock digital collectibles and unreleased acoustic versions of songs.
A Tour Written in the Stars
Critics are already calling “Eclipsed Horizons” the band’s boldest move yet—part concert, part art installation, part spiritual awakening. Imagine Dragons’ mission seems clear: to remind audiences that even in darkness, light finds a way to break through. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just ready to be swept away by the spectacle, one thing is certain—2026 is shaping up to be the year Imagine Dragons eclipse every expectation.
