Imagine Dragons’ LOOM Tour Ignites Hangzhou’s “Big Lotus” Stadium with Explosive Performances and Impeccable Live Sound Powered by a Massive Adamson Rig and Dazzling Lighting from ACME Lighting

Global music sensation Imagine Dragons stormed back into China with an electrifying start to the LOOM World Tour, lighting up the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium with back-to-back shows on April 4th and 6th. Marking their first global tour in three years, the band brought a thunderous dose of nostalgia and fresh hits, belting out anthems like Radioactive, Believer, Thunder, and new releases including Eyes Closed and Wake Up. The crowd roared to crossover chart-toppers Enemy and Natural, creating a rapturous energy across the “Big Lotus”.

While the band delivered their trademark explosive performance, the unsung star of the night was the show’s impeccable audio production. A collaborative effort between Real Music Acoustics & Lighting Technology Co Ltd and global touring stalwart Sound Image – a Clair Global company – ensured that every beat, riff, and vocal nuance landed with crystal clarity and earth-shaking impact.

To achieve this sonic precision across the colossal venue, the team rolled out an impressive Adamson loudspeaker rig. At the core of the front-of-house system were 36 units of the E15 large-format line array modules, flown in a stereo hang configuration with 18 per side. These were reinforced by a further 18 units of the E15 and 18 units of the smaller but equally impactful E12 cabinets deployed in auxiliary roles to bolster the main system’s throw and coverage.

For low-end reinforcement, the setup featured a powerful combination of 16 flown units of the E219 subwoofers and an additional 36 ground-stacked units of the E219s, delivering thunderous bass response that rippled through the venue. And to cover the audience area closest to the stage, 18 units of the compact yet punchy S10 line array modules served as front fills. Meanwhile, a remarkable 54 units of the E12 modules formed the delay reinforcement rig, ensuring consistent sound reinforcement to every corner of the near 80,000-capacity stadium.

The result was a dynamic, immersive soundscape that balanced brute power with surgical precision—allowing fans across the venue to experience the full emotional and sonic force of Imagine Dragons’ performance.

There’s little to no doubt that the LOOM Tour has set a sky-high benchmark for international touring productions in the region. And it is interesting to note that all of Imagine Dragons’ shows in China featured the AECO 30 IP profile lights and the PIXEL LINE IP strobe lights from reputed lighting manufacturer ACME Lighting that provided effects and atmosphere to enhance the band’s performances on April 4^th and 6^th.
