Falling in Reverse bring the The Popular MonsTOUR II: World Domination to Scranton

September 9, 2024

Ronnie Radke and Falling in Reverse have dominated the rock and metal scene for the past decade and their summer tour with Dance Gavin Dance, Black Veil Brides, Tech N9ne and Jeris Johnson will go down as their biggest career milestone to date.

For the last decade, Falling in Reverse has been shaking up the metal scene like a snow globe in a tornado, building a massive, die-hard fanbase by constantly reinventing themselves. Go ahead, Google them or Ronnie Radke—you'll get lost in a maze of one sided opinions and false articles from “influencers” that totally miss the truth of the man and his band. Radke isn’t just a frontman; he’s a true modern day artist, and yeah, that is a lot for people to handle and it’s intensified a bit as he and Falling in Reverse have continued to build their empire. But while the internet’s busy nitpicking his wardrobe or ancient tweets, Radke’s out here doing something way more interesting: making art that asks the tough questions everyone else is too scared to touch. Sure, he’s taken some hits from critics, but the real fans? They see through the noise and stick around for the music that’s always been the heart of it all.


This summer Falling in Reverse hit the road on their biggest tour to date, playing their largest venues ever and gathering together and amazing supporting cast on. “The Popular MonsTOUR II: World Domination.” The tour wrapped it’s way through Scranton, Pennsylvania for a show at the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain and saw Falling in Reverse joined by Dance Gavin Dance, Black Veil Brides, Tech N9ne and Jeris Johnson.

Thanks to their fiercely loyal following, Falling in Reverse has been riding wave after wave of success, each new version of the band somehow bigger than the last. They’ve flipped the script on metal with everything from rap-infused bangers to country cross overs with Jelly Roll for a steady stream of chart-topping singles over the past few years. Their latest drop, “All My Life," has been tearing up Spotify playlists, dominating SiriusXM, and even charted on a few country charts thanks to the feature from Jelly Roll.


When Falling in Reverse hit the stage at 9:10 PM, the crowd went absolutely feral, screaming "Ronnie, Ronnie!" as the lights exploded all around them. The massive amphitheater had already been pushed to a near fever pitch following the back to back rapid sets from the supporting cast of Dance Gavin Dance, Black Veil Brides, Tech N9ne and Jeris Johnson. The energy was so wild, crowd surfers were already flying over the barricade before the band even hit the stage. And when he finally did, launching into “Prequel,” you knew this night was gonna be legendary. Fans who hadn’t been in a mosh pit for two years threw themselves back in like the band was performing at the venue on the 2012 Vans Warped Tour.


Falling in Reverse tore through a setlist that spanned their entire career, but focused heavily on their newer songs from the recently released “Popular Monster” full album. Radke might be the ringmaster of this circus, but he’s got one hell of a band backing him up. Together, they took those 14 songs and twisted them into something even more intense, creating a show that was both seamless and unpredictable. Chaos is the brand when it comes to Falling in Reverse and the band has risen to the top of the genre since their debut.


They’ve conquered the clubs, they’ve dominated the mid-size Arenas, now they’ve sold out massive Amphitheaters - look out 2025, Ronnie Radke and Falling in Reverse might just be coming for you with a stadium tour.

Trivium and Jinjer bring the 'Ascend Above The Ashes Tour' to Lancaster

By Matt Christine • November 14, 2025
Trivium is back on the road in 2025 — and this time, they’ve brought Jinjer along for a blistering run across the U.S. on the “Ascend Above The Ashes Tour.” Over the last four years, the rock and metal world has seen a wild expansion of dream-team co-headlining and powerful support on tours, the kind fans never thought they’d see outside of wish lists. Rising metal powerhouse Jinjer has been in the international spotlight ever since they were forced to exit Slipknot’s 2022 tour to return home and support Ukraine’s war efforts. In the years since, they’ve become global ambassadors for both their country and the metal community. And even as the supporting act on this tour, the band was greeted by a massive turnout and a stage setup that matched their well-earned status in the scene. Their addition on this tour with Trivium was a match made in heaven (or hell) and a perfect compliment sonically. The band's 9 song setlist got the mosh pit moving and crowd surfers flowing ahead of the main event that evening. It may have been a Wednesday night , but you wouldn’t have known it based on the crowd’s energy leading up to Trivium’s 9:50 p.m. arrival. Pennsylvania showed once again why it has a reputation as one of the weirdest and yet strongest markets in the country for rock and metal. When the band’s massive stage slowly illuminated to reveal a dramatic backdrop, Trivium launched into their set with explosive force as strobes burst to blinding effects all around them. Trivium's 14 song set was a blistering pace of their greatest hits and new material that left little time for the band to chat with the crowd as they moved quickly from song to song. Frontman Matt Heafy nearly blended into the elaborate backdrop thanks to a jacket patterned almost identically, but he was impossible to miss as he tore across the stage from mic to mic, shredding through one technical assault after another. Much like Jinjer’s opening performance, Trivium delivered a razor-sharp, 80-minute set that pulled from across their expansive catalog. From the first crushing riff to the final crack of the snare, they gave Lancaster everything they had — and the packed pit gave it right back. Opening nights can often feel unpredictable, but Lancaster showed up ready, proving once again that this city doesn’t just attend shows — it sets the bar. If the rest of the “Ascend Above Ashes Tour” follows this lead, Trivium and Jinjer are in for one unforgettable run.

Taylor Acorn returns home to Pennsylvania at the Archer Music Hall

By Matt Christine • November 12, 2025
Taylor Acorn’s return to Pennsylvania to the Arrow at the Archer Music Hall in Allentown was a homecoming a long time coming after a massive year of touring and festival appearances. Just a few weeks after performing at the When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas - and fresh off wrapping The Summer School Tour - Taylor Acorn returned to Pennsylvania with clear momentum behind her. Touring in support of her newly released LP, she arrived at The Arrow at the Archer in Allentown with a setlist shaped around this new chapter of her sound. The fresh material wasn’t just sprinkled into the night; it was the thread that held the entire show together. And while Acorn hasn’t forgotten her roots in the pop-punk world, it’s obvious that these newer songs give her a wider lane to move in and let her shine bright onstage. The Arrow itself proved to be an ideal setting. The room was full but comfortable, with that sweet spot where you can feel the crowd’s energy without fighting for space. Warm lighting and a clear sightline from almost anywhere in the venue helped create a sense of connection the moment Acorn stepped out. It didn’t take long for the entire place to settle into a rhythm—heads nodding, hands in the air, and plenty of voices shouting back the lines they knew. Between songs, Acorn kept the energy light and the banter genuine. She shared quick stories, poked fun at herself, and made it clear she appreciated being back in her home state. Nothing dragged, nothing felt overly rehearsed—it all stayed grounded in the good-natured vibe that filled the room. By the end of the night, The Arrow at the Archer felt less like a tour stop and more like a celebration of where Acorn is right now: an artist still rooted in the scene that raised her, but growing fast and sounding sharper than ever. The crowd felt it, the room carried it, and Acorn made sure everyone left buzzing. A strong show, a great space, and the kind of night that makes you want to catch her again before the tour moves on.
