The legendary Imagine Dragons, Grammy Award–winning icons of contemporary rock, kicked off their highly anticipated China tour with two absolutely electrifying, sold-out shows at the majestic Hangzhou Olympic Center Stadium.
Beyond the band’s overwhelming power, the audience witnessed a revolution in special effects thanks to SHOWVEN®.
SHOWVEN®’s technological magic comes to life on stage
The show’s technical production leaned on cutting-edge effects, with one of the year’s biggest innovations taking center stage: theSONICBOOM ReCO₂. This device not only captured everyone’s attention but also marked a before-and-after in how visual impact is created in large venues.
As detailed on SHOWVEN®’s official website, the SONICBOOM ReCO₂ is designed to offer a sustainable, powerful, and visually spectacular alternative to traditional CO₂ jets. Its features make it a pioneering device in its category:
- Realistic CO₂ jet simulation with the same burst speed.
- Greater power, with air columns reaching up to 15 meters in height, surpassing conventional jets.
- Tank-free operation: thanks to its integrated 5-liter reservoir, it can produce continuous smoke columns for 10 minutes—equivalent to using 15 large CO₂ bottles.
- Built-in LED lighting: 30 powerful LEDs allow dynamic coloring of the smoke columns, enhancing the visual effect.
- Compact, portable design, ideal for quick setups and high-performance environments.
A high-voltage debut: the SONICBOOM ReCO₂’s first appearance at a major event
The tour marked a milestone for the brand as it became the first major showcase of the SONICBOOM ReCO₂ at an event of this scale. The highlight came with the performance of Believer, one of Imagine Dragons’ most renowned anthems. In perfect sync with the chorus, dozens of SONICBOOM ReCO₂ units exploded in unison, sending 15-meter-high white columns dancing to the music’s rhythm. The result: a powerful, energetic, and unforgettable immersive experience that left the audience breathless.
