CraveOnline was up inside the annual KROQ Weenie Roast festival in Irvine on Saturday, where rock ruled the day with fantastic sets from The Black Keys, Of Monsters and Men, “Sail” heroes AWOLNATION, yacht-rockers Vampire Weekend, Silversun Pickups, a revitalized Stone Temple Pilots and more. Imagine Dragons were also on hand, and provided one of the strongest sets of the day in a tremendous performance that showcased a hugely impressive evolution for the Vegas imports.
Check out our recap and photo gallery of Imagine Dragons’ performance here. The guys were in very high spirits when we caught up with them backstage just prior to their set, discussing the huge number of festivals they’re slated for this Summer, the story behind their smash hit “Radioactive,” their creative process and more!
Keep up with Imagine Dragons on their official site and Facebook!
