Imagine Dragons performed at the Southside Festival. The Southside Festival is a music festival in Germany, and is commonly known as “...the southern counterpart of The Hurricane Festival in Scheeßel.”(1) Imagine Dragons have been playing as a band since roughly 2009, But their popularity increased in 2012 with their song, “Radioactive” and continuing to grow with other hits such as “Demons” and “On top of the World”(2). The band’s current members are Singer: Dan Reynolds, Guitarist: Wayne Sermon, Drummer: Daniel Platzman, and Bassist: Ben Mckee (3).
