Imagine Dragons Adds Second Concert Date in Prague

November 17, 2021

Imagine Dragons adds a second concert! After a massive success and a rapid sell-out of the first show, the band has come out to meet the fans and is adding a second date on Saturday 28.5.2022

Imagine Dragons managed to sell out the opening concert of their “Mercury World Tour” on 30.5.2022 in Prague in just a few days.

In order to meet their fans, they are adding a second date, on Saturday 28.5.2022. This date is an attempt to accommodate visitors from all over Europe who were limited by the working day of the first concert.

In celebration of the release of their latest album, Mercury – Act 1, Imagine Dragons announce their Mercury Tour. Produced by Live Nation, the 2022 tour kicks off on 28^th May at Letňany Airport in Prague, making stops in stadiums and green fields across Europe in Moscow, Madrid and Berlin before wrapping up in Mönchengladbach, Germany at Sparkassen Park on 14th July.

The 2022 summer run will also see the Las Vegas outfit top the bills at some of Europe’s most iconic festivals including I-Days, Rock Werchter, Pinkpop and Lollapalooza Paris.

With 46 million albums and 55 million songs sold globally, as well as 74 billion combined streams, Imagine Dragons remains one of the best-selling rock bands, reinventing the genre with their enormous breakout success across the 2010s.

Their highly anticipated fifth studio album Mercury – Act 1 was released on September 3, 2021.

Teaming up with esteemed producer Rick Rubin and with its title drawing inspiration from the word “mercurial,” Mercury – Act 1 is a candid album that abandons metaphorically charged lyrics and instead embraces emotional extremities, holding nothing back. It marks the band’s first album since 2018’s ORIGINS.

“Follow You” and “Cutthroat” were the first glimpses into the new record, released simultaneously in March 2021, with the former hitting No. 1 at alternative radio and Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart, marking the band’s quickest ascent to the top of those charts.

The album’s current single, “Wrecked,” is a confessional exploration of grief, written by lead vocalist Dan Reynolds after losing his sister-in-law to cancer in 2019.
