On the day when tickets for the recently announced concert of the American band Imagine Dragons at Prague’s Letňany Airport had just gone on sale, the group announced that they were adding a second one due to great interest. They will also perform at the same venue two days later, on June 9 and 11, 2025.
Tickets for the price of 1,890 crowns for both dates are on sale from Friday morning, the Live Nation agency, which organizes the event, informed. In the Czech Republic, the popular group will return after three years, the last time in the spring of 2022, 120,000 listeners attended their two concerts together.
Events of a similar type in Letňany are usually accompanied by traffic measures. There is no parking available at the venue, and metro line C is reinforced for visitors.
Imagine Dragons released their sixth full-length album, Loom, at the beginning of the summer. They produced it with longtime collaborators, the duo of Swedish creators Mattman & Robin. “Working on this record was like a roller coaster ride, as it always is. Sometimes the songs came out of sadness and pain, sometimes out of joy. Loneliness, searching, longing, anger, love,” enumerates the group’s frontman, singer and drummer Dan Reynolds.
In addition to him, Imagine Dragons, formed in Las Vegas in 2008, consists of guitarist Wayne Sermon and bassist Ben McKee. Drummer Daniel Platzman announced his retirement last month.
Together, they have placed five times in a row on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart, with Night Visions, Smoke + Mirrors, Evolve, Origins and Mercury – Act 1. Their hits Believer, Thunder, Demons and Radioactive have each recorded more than a billion plays on streaming services. “We play guitars, drums and bass, so they call us a rock band. But we adore strong melodies, songs that give a sense of explosion,” described the singer Reynolds some time ago.
They perform repeatedly in the Czech Republic. 11 years ago, the SaSaZu club in Prague was enough for them, three years later their mixture of rock, alternative, pop and electronica was applauded by the sold-out O2 arena. In July 2017, Imagine Dragons played at the Colors of Ostrava festival. A year later, they released the album Evolve in Prague’s O2 arena during their world tour. The Grammy Award-winning band last presented the album Mercury – Act 1 produced by Rick Rubin in Letňany last year.
