It will be a double celebration for the fans of cricket and music. The American pop-rock band Imagine Dragons is all set to perform at the closing ceremony of Indian Premiere League 2024. The final match will be played on May 26 in Chennai’s Chepauk stadium. Star Sports, the official broadcaster of the IPL, announced the news on their X handle along with the video.
In the video, the band’s lead singer Dan Reynolds is heard excitedly talking about their presence at the closing ceremony of the much-loved sports finale. The singer also showered praises on RCB skipper Virat Kohli in the video. He said, “This is the stage where we come along. The moment is here. Virat the GOAT, he’s God of all fans. Visiting India was the highlight of my entire career.”
This would not be the first India visit for Imagine Dragons. The American pop-rock band was in India last time in 2023 for the music festival- Lollapalooza India. The band performed at the inaugural edition of the fest in Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi Racecourse.
