Now that Dan Reynolds has shown off his Indiana Jones–like ability to escape boobytrapped ancient ruins — all without the aid of socks — in Imagine Dragons’ “Eyes Closed” video, the group will show that it can tour with its eyes closed as veterans of the road. The Imagine Dragons will kick off an arena tour this summer — tied to the release of their new nine-track album, Loom (out June 28) — and it will run through the fall.
Tickets will go on sale Friday. Various presales begin Tuesday. Full details are on the group’s website. There are also VIP packages including one with “a signed guitar played by a member of Imagine Dragons on stage that night.”
Reynolds commented on “Eyes Closed” and the group’s worldview going into Loom. “After taking some time off the road and spending time catching up with family and loved ones, I finally have felt the desire to go back to the sonic places that originally brought me the most joy, but with a new outlook and mentality,” he said. “The world looks much different after being a band for more than a decade. But some things will always remain the same. It’s finding that right balance of nostalgia and freshness that brings me the most joy in the studio. We had a lot of fun making this one and hope you enjoy it too.”
The group worked on the album with the Swedish songwriting and production duo Mattman & Robin again. Their previous collaborations include “Believer” and “Natural.” They have not yet revealed Loom’s track list.
