What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas, and Imagine Dragons are living proof. Named Billboard’s Breakthrough Band of 2013, the alt-rock foursome has quickly become the biggest Vegas band since The Killers, rising to international fame with hits like “It’s Time” and “Demons.” Propelled by their inventive mix of acoustic and electronic elements, 2012 debut Night Visions peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with three Top 40 singles including “Radioactive,” which spent more than one consecutive year on the Billboard Hot 100. Some things belong in Vegas, but when it comes to live music, some secrets are too good to keep – fans looking for a little piece of Sin City can skip the plane ticket and catch Imagine Dragons LIVE in concert on the 2013 Night Visions Tour.
Following a string of independently released EPs, Imagine Dragons hit their stride in 2012 with the Continued Silence EP, featuring the double-platinum single “In Time.” After a series of lauded late-night talk show performances, the band returned to the studio to record their major label debut with Alex da Kid, Grammy award winning producer behind B.o.B’s “Airplanes” and Eminem and Rihanna’s “Love the Way You Lie.” The result, 2012’s Night Visions, featured a blend of raw and synthetic sounds that proved a success, launching the band to the top of the Billboard Rock and Alternative charts. Standout single “Radioactive” was dubbed “biggest rock hit of the year” by Rolling Stone, and the song’s surreal music video was nominated for the Best Rock Video award at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.
