The band captivated their adoring fans with hit tunes like ‘Believer,’ ‘Thunder,’ ‘Demons,’ ‘Bad Liar,’ and ‘Radioactive.’

Speaking about their unexpected journey to Saudi Arabia, Dan Reynolds shared:

"I grew up wanting to travel and experience different cultures but I never, ever thought I’d make it to Saudi Arabia. I just want you to know that we don’t take this lightly, we don’t take this for granted. Saudi Arabia, we love you, and we’re going to be coming here as many times as you’ll have us. It feels good to be alive!"
