Candlelight: Tribute to Coldplay & Imagine Dragons

Candlelight: Tribute to Coldplay & Imagine Dragons at Scottish Rite Performing Arts Center

Imagine the big hooks of Coldplay and Imagine Dragons rebuilt by four string players. On December 17, 2026, Candlelight: Tribute to Coldplay & Imagine Dragons gives those favorites a new voice at Scottish Rite Performing Arts Center in Indianapolis. Instead of a full rock band, you get a string quartet, and that changes how familiar melodies land. Bold choruses become something close and intimate. The tunes you know by heart may feel brand new.

The announced program also includes Believer and Viva la Vida, so the night pulls from two bands that have soundtracked plenty of commutes, workouts and late-night drives. Listeso is the performing organization behind the show. This is a tribute and interpretation, not an appearance by the original artists, and the program is announced repertoire rather than a guaranteed running order. What you can count on is a concert built around songs people already love, played in a setting designed to make you listen differently.

Then there's the atmosphere. The production uses a candle-style glowing visual setting, a look made for a December evening out. a 6:30 PM show with an advertised running time of about sixty minutes. That makes it a focused, music-first outing, easy to share with a friend, a date or anyone who grew up humming these choruses. If you want to hear Coldplay and Imagine Dragons in a fresh light, grab your tickets for this Indianapolis candlelit string quartet night.
