Smoke + Mirrors is the name of Imagine Dragons’ current concert tour, that arrives to Hungary on 20 January 2016. If you will be in Budapest at that time, don’t miss their show.
I remember the first time when I heard Imagine Dragons; I was watching TV and chatting with a friend in the dining room when we started to ask each other what this great music could be. It sounded really well, so it made us curious. We took our smartphones, touched for Shazam, then we learned that we hear is “Radioactive” from Imagine Dragons. We liked it so much that in a couple of minutes, we started to browse the internet for some more information about the band.
So we learned that four guys formed this American alternative rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada. Their lineup consists of lead vocalist Dan Reynolds, guitarist Wayne "Wing" Sermon, bassist Ben McKee and drummer Daniel Platzman. Their debut studio album is called Night Visions, released in 2012 and their first single was “It's Time”. The band's second studio album Smoke + Mirrors reached number one on the Billboard 200, Canadian Albums Chart, and UK Albums Chart. Furthermore, Billboard named them “The Breakthrough Band of 2013”, and Rolling Stone named their single “Radioactive” ‘the biggest rock hit of the year’. And that’s not all: MTV called them ‘the year's biggest breakout band’. They have won awards at American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards and a Grammy Award, as well. What a success!
