LOVELOUD 2027 -- Music With a Mission
Founded by Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds, LOVELOUD is more than a music festival -- it is a movement. Since 2017, LOVELOUD has brought together world-class performers and passionate fans to celebrate LGBTQ+ youth and raise awareness for organizations that support them. Past lineups have featured artists like Kesha, Martin Garrix, Neon Trees, Tegan and Sara, and of course Imagine Dragons themselves, with Reynolds treating every LOVELOUD show like a headlining arena performance.
In recent years, LOVELOUD expanded beyond its original Salt Lake City home base, hitting cities like Washington D.C. and Austin with intimate venue shows at places like The Anthem and The Long Center. The format shifted from a single massive outdoor festival to a multi-city tour, letting more fans experience the energy and emotion of a LOVELOUD night firsthand. Whether it returns as a touring run or a hometown blowout in 2027, the foundation has built one of the most passionate communities in live music.

The Story Behind LOVELOUD
LOVELOUD started in 2017 when Dan Reynolds decided to use his platform as the frontman of Imagine Dragons to address LGBTQ+ youth homelessness and mental health in Utah. Growing up Mormon in Las Vegas, Reynolds saw firsthand how religious communities could struggle to accept LGBTQ+ members, and he wanted to create a space where music and love could bring people together. The first LOVELOUD Festival was held at the Utah State Fairpark in Salt Lake City and drew thousands of fans for a night of performances and community.
Since then, LOVELOUD has raised millions of dollars for organizations like the Trevor Project, GLAAD, Encircle, and the Tegan and Sara Foundation. The festival has grown from a one-day event into a cultural touchstone, earning coverage from Rolling Stone, Billboard, and national news outlets. Reynolds himself has been recognized with humanitarian awards for his work, and the HBO documentary Believer brought the LOVELOUD story to an even wider audience.
What makes LOVELOUD different from other festivals is the emotional weight of the experience. The crowd is there for the music, absolutely -- Imagine Dragons bring a full arena-level production -- but there is also a sense of shared purpose that turns every show into something more than a concert. Fans regularly describe LOVELOUD as one of the most meaningful live experiences they have ever had.
Whether the 2027 edition takes the form of a multi-city tour or a single massive festival, LOVELOUD has proven it can deliver an unforgettable night no matter the format. The foundation continues to expand its reach, and Reynolds has shown no signs of slowing down the mission.
