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.

Stone Temple Pilots’ return to Pennsylvania for RockFest was more than just another stop on tour as the band isn't on the road promoting a new album or anything particular at the moment making this one off show truly special. Their festival headline slot was a true celebration of a band that has not only endured but continues to thrive. After more than twenty years of music, their headline performance in Grantville showed that Stone Temple Pilots are still writing their best chapters. When Jeff Gutt first stepped in as lead singer, fans were curious about how he would fill the shoes of such an iconic role of those who came before him. A few years and countless shows later, there’s no longer any question. Gutt has evolved into the frontman the band always seemed to be waiting for - powerful, confident, and endlessly engaging. His vocals are as sharp and reliable as ever, but his presence has grown into something magnetic. Whether pacing the stage with fiery energy or locking eyes with fans in the crowd, Gutt now owns every moment in the spotlight. It has reached a point where it is harder to imagine Stone Temple Pilots without Gutt versus any version prior to his arrival with the band. As always, Robert and Dean DeLeo provided the backbone of STP’s unmistakable sound. Their tight musicianship and playful energy were the perfect counterbalance to Gutt’s intensity as he sprinted around the stage (and even jump off into the crowd at one point). The brothers looked like they were having just as much fun as the crowd, trading riffs, smiles, and moments of pure musical joy throughout the night. It was a reminder that their chemistry is the true heartbeat of this band, and it’s never sounded stronger. The night was a journey through the full scope of Stone Temple Pilots’ career. Fans were treated to a perfect balance of old favorites, deeper cuts, and fresh material. “Big Bang Baby” was a standout moment of the set early on, soaring with Gutt’s vocals. Hearing the classics re-energized while newer songs slid in seamlessly made the set feel both nostalgic and fresh at the same time. If this RockFest performance was any indication, Stone Temple Pilots are in the middle of an exciting new era. For long-time listeners and new fans alike, that means one thing: it’s time to get ready for more shows, more songs, and more unforgettable nights like this one. What is next for Stone Temple Pilots may be up in the air but one thing is for certain, they remain one of the tightest live bands in the genre.
