American band Imagine Dragons setting the stage on fire PHOTO FROM INSTAGRAM/IMAGINEDRAGONSImagine DragonsAfter the exciting Formula One which saw Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg declared as the new King of Singapore circuit and Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel going from last position to moving up to fifth place, American band Imagine Dragons set fire to the Padang Stage opening the show with “Shots.”The band performed their hits “It’s Time,” “Demons,” “On Top of The World,” “Roots,” “Gold,” “I Bet My Life” among others with their fist-pumping stadium appeal. They already sound good on record but hearing them live was a blast.Vocalist Dan Reynolds got a kid from the audience when he did “Hopeless Opus” which he said was “best sung lying down.” The atmosphere was hot in the venue with the humid Singapore weather that midway through the show, Reynolds took off his shirt which excited lots of girls in the audience. Thousands of people in the audience still couldn’t get enough of Imagine Dragons even if the band already finished their last song: the explosive “Radioactive.”Having watched the concerts at the Singapore Formula One (F1) for 7 straight years, the acts just keeps on getting better and bigger. This is something music geeks can look out for every year whether you are an F1 fan or not.One wish though is to see another Filipino act to headline the event after Charice, hopefully next year.
