Saturday 26 July 2025. IMAGINE DRAGONS live at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Imagine Dragons have quietly become this massive act. They play Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Friday 25 July and Saturday 26 July 2025, as the last stop of the European leg of its LOOM World Tour, which is all big stadiums. The band will be joined by special guest Declan McKenna. ------------------------------------- This stunning looking stadium is totally sold out. The fans here are a very polite kind of crowd . Lots of overseas accents heard . I have a great view in the gold circle. DECLAN McKENNA on stage at 7.15pm for 45 mins . Declan himself comes on , fully dressed in Tottenhams kit. On his 2024 tour he headlined Ally Pally so is a big name in his own right .With his band he played good tracks from his three albums including his debut hit ' Brazil'. IMAGINE DRAGONS on stage at 8.35pm for 1 hour 45 mins. They had a great stage production. A stunning wraparound collection of big screens . A full length stage catwalk extension . Lots of pyros and confetti used several times. 30 giant beach balls were thrown into the crowd I don't know any Imagine Dragons tracks, and even on the night none were familiar to me. Singer Dan Reynolds (shirtless after 30 mins) is the main focus , as he spends most of the time at the end of the catwalk extension, with lots of audience interaction, and Dan often talked on mental health awareness and positivity. Highlights for me included ' Whatever It Takes' and 'In Your Corner' and Dan in the pit shaking hands a couple of times. Still cannot work out how popular they have become. They appear to be a safe kind of appeal to woke folks. You cannot deny it was a very enjoyable show to watch Full IMAGINE DRAGONS settlist played tonight... Fire in These Hills Thunder ( Extended Outro) Bones Take Me to the Beach ( Extended Bass Intro) Shots ( Broiler Remix) I'm So Sorry ( Extended Guitar Intro) Whatever It Takes Next to Me (Acoustic) I Bet My Life ( Acoustic) Bad Liar Wake Up Radioactive (Drum Battle Outro) Demons ( Piano Intro with Speech) Natural Walking the Wire Sharks Enemy In Your Corner Birds Believer -------------------------------- -------------------------------- Friday 25 July 2025. A very nice triple rock bill at The 02 Arena. ALICE COOPER + JUDAS PRIEST (co - headline) First band on will be PHIL CAMPBELL & THE BASTARD SONS. I have seen Alice Cooper and Judas Priest many times since the 1970s, and saw Phil Campbell many times when he was in Motorhead . ------------- Half of Level 4 is curtained off, as unsold. Several fans are wearing ' Back to the Beginning ' t-shirts. PHIL CAMPBELL & THE BASTARD SONS on stage at 6.55pm for just a 25 mins set , playing a nice loud mix of solo material and Motorhead classics. Full setlist played ... We're the Bastards Going to Brazil ( Motörhead cover) Hammer and Dance High Rule Ace of Spades ( Motörhead cover) Strike the Match As it was a co-headline show, both headline acts were down to play for 75 mins each, but Alice Cooper only played for 60 mins. A big screen at the rear, showing live footage. ALICE COOPER on stage at 7.40pm for 60 mins . Alice and band were totally excellent as usual. The full theatrics were crammed into the show . Highlights included ' No More Mr Nice Guy', 'Poison ' and Johnny Depp and Alice 1970s band members came on for 'Paranoid' and 'Schools Out'. Full ALICE COOPER settlist played tonight.... Lock Me Up Welcome to the Show No More Mr. Nice Guy I'm Eighteen Hey Stoopid He's Back (The Man Behind the Mask) Feed My Frankenstein Go to Hell Poison Guitar Solo ( Nita Strauss) Black Widow Jam Ballad of Dwight Fry Killer / I Love the Dead (Band only as Alice changed costume ) Paranoid ( Black Sabbath cover) (with Johnny Depp) (Live debut) School's Out / Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2 (With band introductions (A.C. forgot to present Nita)) Crazy Train Outro tape - (Ozzy Osbourne song) Note: Original members, Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway and Neal Smith joined on stage for 'School's Out' JUDAS PRIEST on stage at 9.30pm for 75 mins. They certainly have more lights than Alice Cooper. They have also brought their full touring production. The comparison between Rob Halford, the lead singer of Judas Priest, and the character Uncle Albert from the British sitcom "Only Fools and Horses". is uncanny. Rob changes his jacket or coat every other song. Lots screaming vocals and twin guitars The encore was a highlight, as we had ' Hell Bent for Leather ' and 'Living After Midnight'....a great show Full JUDAS PRIEST settlist played tonight... Intro tape - War Pigs (Black Sabbath song) All Guns Blazing You've Got Another Thing Comin' Freewheel Burning Breaking the Law A Touch of Evil Night Crawler Solar Angels Gates of Hell Between the Hammer and the Anvil Giants in the Sky ( dedicated to Ozzy Osbourne) Painkiller Encore: Hell Bent for Leather ( with Rob riding his motorbike on stage ) Living After Midnight ( with Glenn Tipton)
