Few— if any— bands in the past few years have had the ascent like Imagine Dragons have had. A few short years ago, if a group headlined House of Blues, then they were ready for the big room. And with good reason. The Las Vegas-natives have been as close to a sure bet on rock radio when it comes to their abundance of hits. If “Radioactive” put them on listeners’ radars, then “Demons” and “I Bet My Life” off the band’s sophomore effort Smoke + Mirrors cemented them as fixtures on many people’s dial. In the midst of a headlining arena tour, the group will bring it’s explosive live show that has won them plaudits to Honda Center to further prove that they aren’t a one-album wonder.
