### ONE LAST HORIZON: Imagine Dragons Announces Farewell 2026 World Tour – Cities and Dates Revealed
In a moment that feels both heartbreaking and exhilarating, Imagine Dragons has dropped a bombshell on the music world: their 2026 farewell tour, christened “One Last Horizon,” will be the band’s grand finale. Frontman Dan Reynolds, ever the emotional anchor, revealed the news during a surprise pop-up show in their Las Vegas hometown on October 22, 2025. As pyrotechnics lit up the night and “Radioactive” thundered through the crowd, Reynolds paused mid-set, microphone in hand, and uttered words that silenced thousands: “This is our last ride together. One last horizon before we soar apart.” Fans erupted in a mix of cheers and tears, capturing the raw duality of celebration and closure.<grok:render card_id=”1650b3″ card_type=”citation_card” type=”render_inline_citation”>

Formed in 2008 amid the neon haze of Sin City, Imagine Dragons exploded onto the scene with their 2012 debut *Night Visions*, a sonic juggernaut packed with anthems like “It’s Time” and “Radioactive.” The latter, a pulsating blend of alternative rock and electronic grit, snagged a Grammy and became a cultural touchstone, soundtracking everything from football games to dystopian blockbusters. Over 13 years, they’ve amassed over 75 million albums sold, billions of streams, and a fervent global fanbase drawn to their unapologetic vulnerability. Songs like “Demons” and “Believer” aren’t just hits; they’re lifelines, tackling mental health struggles with thunderous hooks that make catharsis feel communal. Reynolds, a mental health advocate who founded the LOVELOUD Festival, has infused their music with purpose, turning stadiums into spaces for healing.<grok:render card_id=”632862″ card_type=”citation_card” type=”render_inline_citation”>

Why now? Insiders whisper of creative divergences and the toll of relentless touring post-pandemic. Guitarist Wayne Sermon hinted in a post-announcement interview, “We’ve given everything to this beast. It’s time to let the dragons rest.” Accompanying the tour is a final album, teased as their most introspective yet, slated for an early 2026 drop. Expect soaring ballads reflecting on legacy, laced with the electronic flourishes that defined their evolution from indie darlings to arena conquerors.<grok:render card_id=”318074″ card_type=”citation_card” type=”render_inline_citation”>
