Imagine Dragons

In the live recording of "RadioActive" from the Reading Festival on September 24, 2016, Imagine Dragons showcased a pivotal moment in their career, just a few years after their breakthrough album, "Night Visions," which came out in 2012. By 2016, they had released their sophomore album, “Smoke + Mirrors,” in 2015, which featured a more introspective sound, melding pop rock with stirring anthems. During this period, the band was on a high from their massive hit “Radioactive,” a song that not only dominated the charts but also earned a Grammy Award. It’s fascinating to note that "Radioactive" was recognized by Rolling Stone as the "biggest rock hit of the year," highlighting its cultural impact. The energy captured during this live performance at Reading Festival speaks volumes, as the audience's enthusiasm resonated perfectly with the band's electric stage presence, embodying the spirit of both their music and their growing legacy in the industry.
