Few artists break into the mainstream with their first album, and even fewer maintain that momentum over 10 years later. Imagine Dragons is among those acts that somehow find ways to ascend to new levels while avoiding overexposure, as evidenced by the band’s impressive global run over the past few years.

After closing the North American in October of 2024 with four sold-out shows at the iconic Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, the Las Vegas-born band embarked on a massive global trek that began in Asia and concluded with a two-night at MorumBIS in São Paulo, Brazil, on Oct. 31 and Nov. 2, that grossed $9,970,298 off 105,185 tickets sold, according to Pollstar Boxoffice.

In total, Imagine Dragons grossed $249,345,624 from the “Loom World Tour” promoting their sixth studio album and moved 2,189,366 tickets, catapulting the band to No. 8 on Pollstar’s Year End Top Touring Artists chart.

Lead singer Dan Reynolds, known for his openness with fans, recently shared a message on social media after the band concluded the successful tour, saying the band was blown away by the reception.

“Loom was about new beginnings. Color. Change. Heartache. Newness. Freedom. Fear. Regret. Death. Faith. Faithlessness. Love. You received, as you always do, with grace and so much love,” he wrote. “… Seeing your faces all across the globe made every stop feel like home. Your voices sang with us at every stop, regardless of language or differences. You filled our hearts. Truly. And you’ve done it consistently for over 15 years.”

What Imagine Dragons has done for the past 15 years has also been consistent. After years of performing cover songs and their own material in dive bars, clubs and casinos, the band broke through with their debut, Night Visions, which made them platinum-certified stars with anthemic hits like “Radioactive” and “Demons,” and they never stopped producing hits.

Their meteoric rise quickly ascended them from small venues to arenas and then stadiums around the globe, a jump that turned out to be the right move.

“It’s fun to look back on the naysayers’ comments from that time period because so many people doubted the decisions we were making and it was such an unprecedented move to go from clubs to theaters to arenas on a cycle like that,” Martin, executive vice president and managing executive at Wasserman, told Pollstar in a 2022 cover story about Imagine Dragons. “People really doubted that that was the right move, but clearly it paid off in the long run.”

With a total gross of nearly $250 million, it obviously did pay off, and the band is one of the poster children for the globalization of music that Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino often mentions in earnings calls. Imagine Dragons scored major hauls in markets like Zurich, with two sold-out shows at Stadion Letzigrund grossing a gargantuan total of $19,295,000. They came away with a similar haul at Stade de France in Saint-Denis.

The band also made a triumphant return to Latin America, specifically Mexico City, where 1.2 million of the band’s 58.5 million Spotify followers reside. The trio grossed $12,761,423 and sold 113,700 tickets at Estadio GNP Seguros. For the first time in a long time, the band’s tour page on its website says there are no upcoming events. They’ve conquered North America, South America and many European markets, including Estonia, grossing more than $304 million across 84 concerts between July 30, 2024, and Nov. 2, 2025.

If globalization is key to the success of live entertainment, as executives say, it’s acts like Imagine Dragons that will lead them to conquer new territories.
