According to recent announcements and hot-sheet coverage, Kygo and Imagine Dragons are gearing up for their 2026 world tour — one that aims to go beyond mere spectacle. For Dan Reynolds, it’s not just about the hits or the stage, but about shifting how we view **love**, **life**, and **sexuality
Reynolds has long championed mental-health awareness and LGBTQ+ inclusion (notably through his work with the LOVELOUD Festival) and this tour is being framed as the next level of that mission.
In his own words: he wants the show to “challenge the world’s narrow notions about sexuality, masculinity, and human vulnerability.”
What to Expect from the Show
* Hybrid performance: Kygo’s production meets Imagine Dragons’ live instrumentation and stage presence. The result? Live guitar riffs, drumming, and vocal power combined with big EDM-drops and immersive visuals.
* Visual storytelling: The shows are described as “cinematic therapy” — projections, AR/VR elements, emotional moments designed to make the audience reflect, not just dance.
* New music: The collaboration will likely debut exclusive tracks that deal explicitly with identity, acceptance and breaking free from societal fear.
* Global scope: Tentatively scheduled for many major cities across Europe, North America, Asia, Latin America and more. The idea is to bring this message of unity worldwide.
-Why It Matters
Dan Reynolds is using his platform not just as a musician but as a voice for change. In earlier interviews, he’s said his art is about healing, “real human connection,” and acknowledging that life is “a never-ending classroom.”
By framing this tour in terms of love and human vulnerability, rather than only in terms of hits and entertainment, it stands out in today’s tour landscape. It has the potential to resonate deeply with fans who are seeking more than just a performance.
