The American band Imagine Dragons will perform on June 9 next year at Prague’s Letňany Airport, where they will present their new album Loom as part of their world tour. In the Czech Republic, the popular group will return after two years, the last time in the spring of 2022, 120,000 listeners attended their two concerts together. Tickets were sold out in a few days.
Advance sales of tickets starting at 1,890 crowns for the planned June evening will begin this Friday, September 13, the Live Nation agency announced on Monday. 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 producers and composers 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 in 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 feeling 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 presented 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.
