Imagine Dragons on Loving Halsey, Learning From Paul Simon, New Tour Film On March 2nd, Imagine Dragons fans who missed out on the band's 2015 tour can experience the next best thing. That night, at 7:30 p.m. local time, Fathom Events presents a cinematic recap of the band's massive Toronto show — performed for an audience of 15,000 — during their tour in support of last year's Smoke + Mirrors. The film will not only unite fans across North America; it will also stand as a testament to the incredible production values featured on Imagine Dragons' most recent world trek. Watch the exclusive trailer below. Singer Dan Reynolds recently spoke with Rolling Stone about the film, Smoke + Mirrors tour opener Halsey and the band's tight-knit fan community before Imagine Dragons embarked on the short final leg of their world tour. "We put out an album that hit hard, and I really feel like we have a community now from touring pretty relentlessly for eight years," he said. "I honestly feel like social media has been really important to us to help us really feel close to our fans, even though we haven't met." What made you guys decide to release this concert film as one-night-only event for your fans? We always wanted to do this, but we just finally were able to put it together and felt like this tour really had kind of a special vibe to it. We worked with the Moment Factory, a really, really rad production company, and we put together a show that felt really special. We wanted to capture it and figured it'd be really cool to do it in a setting where fans could come together and go into a theater and experience something like that. Our fans are a close community even though they're spread out around the world. Twitter makes it so that people that haven't ever met grow friendships together. I thought this would be a cool way to bring people together who are in similar cities and may have met each other on Twitter because of the band. Will the band be making appearances at any of the theaters? I can't say any specifics on that because we don't know the specifics yet, but yes, we are definitely going to go see it with some fans in at least one location. I actually think it will be a few locations, but I couldn't tell you which locations those were. What made this tour in particular so special for the band? This record in particular was a special record to all of us. It translated well live just because it's a really dynamic album. Like, Night Visions was really fun to play live, but I don't feel like it translated as well live as Smoke + Mirrors did, particularly because we tracked a lot of this

album live. A lot of the songs were just played as a band in a studio as opposed to Night Visions [where] a lot of it was just kind of put together. It's just a really emotional album and vulnerable. For me, it made it more real every night to be able to get on stage. I didn't feel like I had to perform. It came easier 'cause I was able to get behind the songs and the lyrics because they were real things that I was going through. Whereas with Night Visions, I wrote that over four years, so sometimes songs didn't feel relevant to me anymore. Smoke + Mirrors just translated particularly well live because of the vulnerability of the album. It's incredibly rare to see a band get as big as Imagine Dragons has within a few years. How was it to transition to stadiums and arenas for this last tour? We've been a band now for eight years, and the longer you're together the more you know each other as musicians and the better it feels on stage. It's incredible as this young of a band to be playing arenas. We also spent four years playing in tiny clubs to no people and also knew that feeling together as a band. We've gone through a lot together, whether it was getting robbed together or living together in a house for three years or just being poor and taking any gigs we could get to make money. We really had the appreciation to be able to have fans come out. I can think of so many times we played tours that were not sold out and in 100-capacity rooms, and you look out and there are like 20 people in the room and you're kind of embarrassed to get onstage. I think every band needs to go through that in order to really appreciate playing to 15,000 people every night around the world. I feel like if we skipped that first step and then slowly moving up to bigger clubs and going through those stages, it would’ve gotten to our heads, and I think we wouldn’t have appreciated as much. You mentioned the fan community. How did you guys translate that intimacy that you guys experience with your fans to an arena performance? I remember my first time playing in a bigger venue, and I was actually quite afraid that it wouldn't be as intimate because all I knew for four years was just clubs. Surprisingly enough, it somehow retained a level community. The word that I would use for arenas and amphitheaters and even theaters is more like a community feeling. It's thousands of people, but somehow you all feel very connected, and when everybody is singing along with the same words, even if you can't see everybody’s face, you feel everybody's energy, as long as it's a good show [laughs]. I can't remember who [said this] but early on in my career we played with a band and the singer had played much bigger venues, and he told me that whenever he gets onstage, he would make a real effort to look everybody in the eye at least within the front row and find a connection with them, and that would always help him get more into the music. I always try to do that. One really great testament to the type of relationship that your band has with your fans is seen in Halsey, who recently shared how much your music meant to her while she was hospitalized for psychiatric care while in high school. Since she joined you on this tour, what was it like to experience that real-time effect of your music on someone who is now starting to blow up on their own? Halsey is such a cool girl — a very, very strong woman and a real artist. [I have] a ton of respect for her. She is super humble. She came on the tour and was extremely grateful and had no ego, which she totally could have had because she blew up really quickly, even quicker than us. She was just totally down to earth, and I really enjoyed that tour and enjoyed hanging out with her.

She became best friends with my three-year-old daughter, and she would bring her little gifts and bunnies and was such a sweetheart. Of course, [her fandom] means a ton. Any time that your music means something to an artist that you really respect and think is a wonderful human being means a great deal. I absolutely love Halsey, and it means a great deal. I know that you guys still have more shows coming up earlier this year, but what's the plan for the rest of the year for Imagine Dragons? Are you going to start working on your third album? We are going to take some serious time off [laughs]. I'll be in Eastern Europe for three weeks, and those are the final dates. Within the last year, we've done South America and North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, so this will be the final part of the world tour, and it’s been absolutely incredible and more than we ever could have dreamed it to be, especially on the second album. When you have fans coming out on the second album, it really feels like, "OK, now we have a community and it's real." We don't have any plans to go into the studio or anything like that. I mean, we're always writing just because that's what we do. It's our hobby. But, yeah, I don’t know. ... I don’t even know when we'll be in the studio. What are some of your favorite concert films or live shows? Paul Simon's Graceland, period. Actually, I love all of Paul Simon's music. His live show, to me, is one of the best live shows that I've ever seen, and I had a DVD of [a Graceland concert] that I held on to forever, and that I feel is always inspirational to me. Bruce Springsteen plays a huge impact on my live performance. Honestly the only DVD that I've had though was Paul Simon. For Graceland, he had so much world influence, and he brought it onstage with him. I felt like it always made the world feel like a smaller place in a lot of ways — bringing a lot of different peoples and cultures together, and that has always been my goal. That's been the goal of Imagine Dragons: to be a world band. It's such a broad

vision. When we were nobody, we never thought "our dream is to be a world band." Your dream is just to fill up a club when you're nobody. But, honestly, from the beginning, we really did want to be able to travel the world and get to know different peoples and cultures and bring people together regardless of their religion or where they're from or whatever kind of music they're into. Our goal as Imagine Dragons has been to bring people together

Imagine Dragons Guitar Tech Shows Off Wayne Sermon's Live Gear Today, GuitarWorld.com presents the excusive premiere of a very guitar-centric clip from Imagine Dragons. In the clip, which you can check out below, Shane Johnson, the band's guitar tech, shows off guitarist Wayne Sermon's live setup—including guitar after guitar (after guitar). Be aware that Imagine Dragons are coming to movie theaters for a special one-night concert event Wednesday, March 2, with their award-winning Smoke + Mirrors. Filmed as part of the band's current world tour the Smoke + Mirrors set list features hits such as "Demons," "I Bet My Life" and "Radioactive." This stunning concert film, which was directed by Dick Carruthers (Led Zeppelin, the Killers, Oasis), was shot in front of 15,000 fans in Toronto. “We put more blood, sweat and lasers into planning the Smoke + Mirrors Tour than any performance we've given to date, and it's something we'll always remember," the band said in a statement. "This event captures that live energy in an incredibly immersive way. We can't wait to show it to fans all over the world who either want to re-live the experience we shared together or see it for the first time."

Imagine Dragons detail new concert movie "I think about how there are people out there who might have been waiting for two

years to see us play, and that keeps us going," frontman Dan Reynolds tells EW. Imagine Dragons recently headed off the road for their longest stretch of down time since breaking big six years ago. But for fans who are jonesing for their particular brand of alt-pop-rock, there’s Imagine Dragons In Concert: Smoke + Mirrors, the group’s new concert film coming to select theaters Wednesday, March 2. The concert featured in the film took place last July 4 in Toronto, perennially a favorite tour stop for the group, and EW caught up with charismatic frontman Dan Reynolds to chat about showing the footage to his daughter, battling depression, and when fans can expect new Imagine Dragons music. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Why did you want to make a concert movie? Reynolds: I grew up on [concert] DVDs more than shows. I came from a super conservative family. [Reynolds grew up a member of the Mormon Church in Las Vegas.] And I had eight siblings — seven brothers and one sister. When you have that many kids in the family, your parents aren’t going to pay for you to go a show, you had to find the money yourself. There are a lot of kids like that, who can’t go to concerts, so we wanted to be able to give something to fans who maybe can’t make it to the show. And also, it’s something that we, as a band, can hold onto forever. The greatest takeaway of the film, to me, is seeing how all-in you guys go every night. We all love this. This is our passion. We did probably over 200 shows this last year — it’s easy to have a night where you feel off or tired or like you don’t want to do a show. You’re going to have a day where you’re in a bad mood. But I think about how there are people out there who might have been waiting for two years to see us play, and that keeps us going. You have a young daughter, do you think about when she’ll be able to watch something like this? I already feel the embarrassment she’ll feel. My hair was so awkward! It’s only six months later and I already feel like this — how will I feel in 20 years? She’s only three and she’s already so much cooler than me. In 15 years I know I’m going to be a joke. When Smoke + Mirrors came out and this tour kicked off, you said that it was the hardest time you’ve had dealing with your depression. How are you now? I can honestly say the last six months of my life have been the healthiest I’ve had in years and years. I’ve battled depression for a long time, like in middle school and high school, but settling

into life after the album blew up and the band took off…it took me a while. It was so heavy, I couldn’t find a way out. What are some of the positives you get out of touring? Honestly, it’s the greatest thing you could ever experience. And the joy isn’t in going out there and thinking, “All these people are here to see me and listen to my music” — it’s that you’re in a room with tons of people and you’re all there for the same cause, singing together and celebrating life, the highs and lows of it, together. People have debated where Imagine Dragons falls on the pop/rock divide for a while. Do you ever feel a need to clarify your position? Growing up my favorite bands were like Phil Collins, Paul Simon, and U2 — very pop-melody driven music. I didn’t grow up listening to heavy rock ‘n roll, so I get it when people think we’re a pop band. [But] I prefer to think of us as an alternative act. It’s a funny word but “alternative music” is just music that you can’t place. And at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter. There’s so much genre-bending at this point, it doesn’t matter as much. Have you started writing for the next album? We’ve promised each other this year off. I think everyone needs a little bit of time off from the band — including the public [laughs]. Who will be the first to break the promise? I couldn’t even gamble on that. But like, Wayne [Sermon] missed the birth of his baby a few weeks ago when we were overseas, so I feel like I can confidently say he’ll be the last to be ready to go. Then again, he sent me a song yesterday [laughs]. http://www.ew.com/article/2016/03/01/imagine-dragons-concert-movie

Imagine Dragons concert film coming to a theater near you

LOS ANGELES (FOX 11) - Imagine Dragons is coming to a theater near you!

Frontman Dan Reynolds stopped by Good Day LA on Thursday to promote the band's new concert film, Imagine Dragons in Concert: Smoke + Mirrors, in theaters March 2. Being one of nine children in the family, Reynolds said he never got to to go concerts and only got to experience musicians at home through DVDs and television.

While the band is still performing in shows all over the world, the concert film is for others who might not be able to afford concert tickets.

Re-live Imagine Dragons’ ‘Smoke + Mirrors’ Tour One More Time in Select Theaters March 2,

This past summer Imagine Dragons went on their biggest world tour to date, Smoke + Mirrors Tour, in support of their sophomore album and personally my favorite. The world tour saw Imagine Dragons performing hit singles such as “Demons,” “I Bet My Life,” “Radioactive,” and a personal favorite song of mine with an incredible light show “Friction” among 19-20 others throughout 108 shows around the world. With the success of their tour, the many withdrawals their fans would have, me included, Imagine Dragons are hitting the cinema screens for one night only to re-live the experience of Smoke + Mirrors Tour. The live concert film took place during their Toronto, Canada stop of the tour with 15,000 fans in attendance. That’s a huge upgrade from the days when Dan Reynolds would perform new songs for his family via Youtube during down time of his mission trips. The live concert film, directed by Dick Carruthers, gives fans an up close and personal experience of the bands entire set in 4k and Dolby Atmos bringing the clearest audio and visuals possible. I had the pleasure of screening the film and was more than happy with its final result. The cinematography was seriously breathtaking, far from the cliche live concert films. I’ve always known Wayne Sermon was an insane guitarist but i never realized how fast his fingers were until watching his guitar solos up close through the film. The live concert film will hit select theaters Wednesday, March 2. Get your tickets and live or re-live the experience of one of my favorite live bands, Imagine Dragons.

I just hoped that it would translate on film, and I think it really captures it.” Advertisement • Imagine Dragons grappled with reality for sophomore album • Imagine Dragons show love to their Oakland County fans The film is slated to be released on DVD later this year as well. Reynolds and his bandmates, meanwhile, “have forced ourselves to take a year off,” and he views the film as a cap to a frenetic and successful nearly four years for Imagine Dragons. During that time the group, which was formed in Las Vegas, released a pair of top-selling albums — including 2012’s double-platinum “Night Visions” and last year’s chart-topping “Smoke + Mirrors.” The group also scored hits such as “Radioactive,” “Demons,” “I Bet My Life,” “Shots” and “Roots” and won a Grammy award along with two American Music Awards. “This has been such a crazy few years of our life I think we’d be really remiss not to document it,” Reynolds said. “A lot of it’s been, like, a blur. I can hardly remember half of it because the paces was just nonstop. And this (Smoke + Mirrors) tour was really special. We really put a lot into the production value of it and all of us were really proud of how it turned out and we wanted to capture it and have it to hang on to and also give it to our fans to hold onto the experience as well, or to see if they weren’t able to get to the show. “Growing up, I hardly ever got to go to concerts, so a lot of my favorite shows were on DVDs, so I want to give that experience to our fans, too.” http://www.dailytribune.com/arts-and-entertainment/20160302/sound-check-imagine-dragons-debut-concert-film-in-area-theaters

Imagine Dragons Smoke+Mirrors Tour come to theatres for one night only

Fathom Events, CinemaLive and Eagle Vision are proud to announce that one of the world's hottest bands, Imagine Dragons, is coming to theaters for a special one-night concert event on Wednesday, March 2 with their award-winning Smoke + Mirrors concert. Filmed as part of their current world tour, the set list features hits such as Demons, I Bet My Life and the Grammy Award-winning Radioactive from their platinum-selling debut album Night Visions. Other tracks performed as part of the concert event include Shots, Gold and the never before played live Thief. This visually stunning concert, directed by Dick Carruthers (Led Zeppelin, The Killers, Oasis, Beyoncé) was captured in front of 15,000 fans in Toronto, Canada and is a one of a kind experience for Imagine Dragons fans and beyond. Bringing it to movie theaters allows fans the chance to re-live the experience and see it on the big screen. For those who were not able to make a live show, now is the chance for them to experience the concert from the comfort of their nearest movie theater with friends, family and other fans. A select number of movie theaters will also be screening the concert in 4K & Dolby Atmos, providing a powerfully immersive and moving audio experience for the cinema audience. Formed in 2009 the Imagine Dragons quickly earned a grassroots following by touring extensively and independently releasing a series of EPs. After signing to KIDinaKORNER/Interscope Records, the band made their major-label debut with the release of Continued Silence (a 2012 EP featuring the breakthrough single It's Time). Once Night Visions arrived later that same year, Imagine Dragons soon found themselves on a skyward trajectory that saw the album climbing to #2 on the Billboard 200 chart, as well as the group taking home the Best Rock Performance for Radioactive at the 2014 Grammy Awards. With the album Smoke + Mirrors, Imagine Dragons use the frenetic energy of life on the road to infuse their music with both raw tension and intense vulnerability. As on Night Visions which saw the band rack up more than 5 million album sales worldwide and 24 million track sales worldwide, the band

works with sharply crafted beats and grooves to dream up rhythm-driven rock music that's artful yet visceral. "We put more blood, sweat and lasers into planning the Smoke + Mirrors Tour than any performance we've given to date, and it's something we'll always remember. This event captures that live energy in an incredibly immersive way. We can't wait to show it to fans all over the world who either want to re-live the experience we shared together or see it for the first time."

Smoke + Mirrors Live: Imagine Dragons like you’ve never seen them

They may be one of today’s hottest musical acts but before Imagine Dragons even planned to film a grandiose concert movie, they looked back at a rustic, old classic — The Last Waltz, a cinematic account of aged rockers’ The Band’s final concert from 1976. “That’s the film that let me understand the tone of all those rock n’ rollers the best — seeing them in their element up on stage performing,” recalls Dragons drummer Daniel Platzman from New York. “That was something that was really important to me going into this — trying to capture that feeling of the authentic concert-going experience.” Fans can soak up that authentic experience on March 2, when theatres across Canada premiere Imagine Dragons: Smoke + Mirrors Live — a colossal concert movie that features the Las Vegas quartet playing their biggest hits. Making the movie even more unique, the global hitmakers decided to document their show in Canada — specifically, Toronto. “Everytime we’ve come to Toronto we’ve been given an insane welcoming,” insists the 29-year-old multi-platinum selling artist. “Even before we were able to play at the Air Canada Centre, we remember playing clubs and everyone’s just had a great attitude. So when timing for the film came up, it was the obvious choice.” As the film showcases, there are 15,000 screaming fans in Toronto that adore Imagine Dragons as well. And while many acts might’ve settled for selling that showpiece on iTunes or other digital formats, Imagine Dragons felt it was crucial to get their show onto the big screen. “It was entirely a cinematic event for all of us,” says Platzman. “We really wanted to bring that live experience as authentically to people in a movie theatre as we could (and) we’re always trying to stay as true to the authentic show as possible.” Music fans should expect their favourite songs — from the band’s hits Radioactive and Demons to an inspired take on an old 1984 classic. In fact, Imagine Dragons have covered all the bases, even the one thing all concert movies should have — a bombastic drum solo. “I agree,” Platzman laughs. “More drum solos in general would make the world a better place.” http://www.metronews.ca/entertainment/2016/02/25/imagine-dragons-like-youve-never-seen-them.html

IMAGINE DRAGONS TO SCREEN “SMOKE AND MIRRORS TOUR” MARCH 2ND IN SELECT THEATERS

Thursday night, I had the experience of all sound and concert experiences. I got to see Imagine Dragons “Smoke and Mirrors” tour shot in 4k with a new Dolby sound method. It was the most intense concert experience I’ve ever had and I wasn’t even there.

Maybe it was the impeccable sound coming through the speakers, or the fact that the Smoke and Mirrors Tour had a production like I’d never seen before, but something had my attention fixated on that screen from start to finish. Shot in Toronto on July 4th of last year, the movie brings you the sound, and the next-level experience of what a live show is. It’s a straight through live show with no gimmicks, just a great performance

Imagine Dragons doesn’t just put on a show, they put on an experience, one that makes you forget your troubles and think “hey, I can sing along and let loose and not care” even sitting in a movie theater seat. I was amazed by the fact that this movie theater could bring me a live experience like I’ve never had before. I was personally really excited that I not only got to watch Imagine Dragons, but I got to see firsthand everything that tour and the live experience could be. There were smoke and lights, but the most intense experience of the show was the performance of “Radioactive.” I could not get enough of it, and I wanted to sit in the movie theater all night singing “Woah oh oh oh… Radioactive Radioactive.” Every song has it’s own lighting effects that seems to only enhance what you’re hearing, rather than overshadow it. The fact that all four members are able to be fluid with vocals and instruments as a live bad is also something you don’t see often anymore

If the production and the sound blew me away, the talented musicians only added to my loss of reality. Dan Reynolds commands a stage in the most relaxed fluid way one can experience with a band of unfairly talented men behind him. For me, Wayne Sermon’s guitar solo during “Radioactive” pretty much destroyed all other guitar solos I’ve seen (and I’ve watched Slash play live) ever. It was an unparalleled surprise that had me wanting more. If they weren’t already on my list to see live, Imagine Dragons just jumped to the top. If you didn’t catch Imagine Dragons on the Smoke and Mirrors Tour, check out their live performance movie of it out March 2nd in select theaters! It’s an experience you won’t want to miss.

Imagine Dragons Concert Film Coming To Theaters For One Night A concert film shot on Imagine Dragons‘ recent Smoke + Mirrors world tour will hit movie theater screens for one night only on March 2nd, according to CBS Local. Titled Smoke + Mirrors, the movie was filmed in front of 15,000 fans in Toronto and includes performances of hits such as “Demons,” “I Bet My Life” and “Radioactive,” alongside more rare live cuts like “Shots” and “Gold” and the never before played “Thief.” Frontman Dan Reynolds said in a statement, “We put more blood, sweet and lasers into planning the Smoke + Mirrors Tour than any performance we’ve given to date, and it’s something we’ll always remember. This event captures that live energy in an incredibly immersive way. We can’t wait to show it to fans all over the world who either want to re-live the experience we shared together or see it for the first time.” Reynolds added in an interview with Rolling Stone, “We always wanted to do this, but we just finally were able to put it together and felt like this tour really had kind of a special vibe to it . . . We wanted to capture it and figured it’d be really cool to do it in a setting where fans could come together and go into a theater and experience something like that. Our fans are a close community even though they’re spread out around the world.” Asked if the band members will appear at any of the theaters showing the film, Reynolds said, “I can’t say any specifics on that because we don’t know the specifics yet, but yes, we are definitely going to go see it with some fans in at least one location.” Imagine Dragons begin a European tour on Thursday (January 14th) in Luxembourg that ends in early February. After that, the band intends to take some “serious time off,” with Reynolds adding, “We’re always writing just because that’s what we do. It’s our hobby. But . . . I don’t even know when we’ll be in the studio.” Tickets for the film can be purchased on Fathom Events’ website here, and in the meantime you can check out the trailer below http://www.edge.ca/2016/01/14/imagine-dragons-concert-film-coming-to-theaters-for-one-night/

As on Night Visions which saw the band rack up more than 5 million album sales worldwide and 24 million track sales worldwide, the band works with sharply crafted beats and grooves to dream up rhythm-driven rock music that's artful yet visceral.

The band's "Smoke + Mirrors" album charted at No. 1 around the world in 2015, including the U.S. Billboard and UK Official Album Charts, reaching gold status in the United States and United Kingdom and platinum in Canada. Formed in 2009, the band quickly earned a grassroots following by touring extensively and independently releasing a series of EPs. After signing to KIDinaKORNER/Interscope Records, the band made their major-label debut with the release of "Continued Silence," a 2012 EP featuring the breakthrough single "It's Time." Once "Night Visions" arrived later that same year, Imagine Dragons soon found themselves on a skyward trajectory that saw the album climbing to No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, as well as the group taking home the Best Rock Performance for Radioactive at the 2014 Grammy Awards.
