The Mercury World Tour[1] is the fourth concert tour by American pop rock band Imagine Dragons in support of their fifth and sixth studio albums Mercury – Acts 1 (2021) and 2 (2022). The tour began on February 6, 2022 at the FTX Arena in Miami, and is scheduled to conclude on March 17, 2023 at the Foro Sol in Mexico City.

Background[edit]

Four days after the release of Mercury – Act 1, the band announced that they would embark on a 17-date North American tour, beginning in early February and stretching to March.[2] Pre-sale access was given to American Express Card members on September 7th through September 9th. Tickets went on-sale to the general public on September 10, 2021.[3]

On November 1, 2021, European dates were announced.[4] The European leg will span 2 months and will visit festivals and stadiums. Tickets for the European leg went on-sale on November 5, 2021. American pop group LANY were initially announced as the opening act for the North American leg of the tour but were dropped shortly after, most likely due to allegations of predatory behavior resurfacing. On December 10, Imagine Dragons announced that Canadian-American singer Grandson and Danish singer MØ would serve as LANY's replacements.

On December 14, 2021, the band announced twelve Canadian tour dates with AVIV serving as the opening act.[5]

On February 25, 2022, the band announced the cancellation of tour dates in Ukraine and Russia, due to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.

On March 25, 2022, the band announced a second North American leg of the tour, with Macklemore and Kings Elliot serving as opening acts. On April 6, the band announced that Mother Mother would serve as opening act for the European leg of the tour.

On August 4, 2022, the band announced the shows of South American leg of the tour. However, on October 17, 2022, just one day before they were set to begin, the shows were postponed due to health issues with lead singer Dan Reynolds. The new dates, scheduled to take place in March 2023, were announced in November.
