What Happened In Vegas!

When Imagine Dragons teamed up with Corning Gorilla Glass to launch the band’s fourth studio album ‘Origins’ on their home turf

In the Imagine Dragons scheme of things, even an intimate invite-only concert features no less than a thousand people. But that’s probably not surprising when your global fan following runs into millions. The four-member band launched their fourth album, Origins, at a special show on their home turf of Las Vegas recently. Performing a career-spanning set list amidst their biggest supporters, the band proved why they’ve become the de facto resurrectors of rock today.

The Dragons debuted their euphoric, aphorism-loaded brand of almost a decade ago, at a time when the genre’s rapidly diminishing command on global charts was already a hard reality. If their debut single “It’s Time” (featured on the 2011 eponymous EP and on their first studio album Night Visions in 2012) struggled to chart in the year of its release, by the next year it had already entered the Billboard Top 100 Songs year-end list at number 91. For a band that was still finding its groove, by 2013, they climbed up to the number 3 spot with “Radioactive,” enjoying the company of serial hitmakers Macklemore, Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry et al. Imagine Dragons had arrived!
