Imagine Dragons, the alternative rock band, will bring their "LOOM" album tour to Barcelona on July 1, 2025. 

The Grammy-winning group will perform in Barcelona's Olympic Stadium after playing in Madrid's Civitas Metropolitano on June 28 as part of their European tour. The band will perform in 16 countries, including Switzerland, Portugal, and France.

Their sixth album, LOOM, released earlier this summer, received widespread acclaim. In Spain, it ranked 4 on the Official Albums chart, the group's third album to reach the Top 5 in the country over the last decade. According to the group's social media, it also became the best-selling vinyl of the year. 

Tickets go on sale online on Friday, September 13, starting at €65 , with pre-sale tickets being available on September 11. Imagine Dragons will also offer VIP exclusive experiences such as signed guitars and on-stage photos.

Since their formation in 2009, Imagine Dragons has become one of the most successful rock bands of their generation by selling over 74 million albums and amassing more than 160 billion global streams. They also hold the record for the most songs, with over a billion streams on Spotify.

Their hits, including "Radioactive," "Believer," and "Thunder," have topped charts and earned multiple Diamond certifications from the RIAA. Imagine Dragons has also collaborated with a wide range of artists, from Kendrick Lamar to Hans Zimmer. 

In an interview with US national public radio, lead singer Dan Reynolds described the foundation of his diverse compositions.

"I write from a classical piano kind of background. Like, it was all Chopin and Beethoven and Bach, so it was very pop-centric melodies," he said.

Reynolds revealed that LOOM was shaped by personal experiences, including the end of a decade-long relationship. He also reflected on how his Mormon upbringing influenced several tracks. "I couldn't find my place in it, and I couldn't find a sense of self in it… And once I accepted that I didn't need to do that, my life became a lot simpler," he added.
