Falling in Reverse will return to Australia for their first headline tour in nearly a decade. After years of speculation, the six-year drought is over, and Blunt is here to break the news.
For fans who’ve been holding out hope since Ronnie Radke’s cryptic social media post in June, this moment has been a long time coming. The enigmatic frontman dropped an image of the Australian flag with no context, setting the rumour mill ablaze. The buzz cooled when the band’s European dates were announced shortly after, leading some to wonder if Radke confused the Australian flag with the UK’s Union Jack. But as Blunt can confirm, the wait is over—Falling in Reverse is heading Down Under for in March 2025.

Update: 24/11/2024: Falling in Reverse 2025 Australian Tour Dates Officially Announced
Blunt’s Exclusive Scoop
Blunt can reveal their Australian tour is locked in for March 2025. A source with direct ties to venue operations has verified that plans are firmly in place, confirming what fans have been hoping for—a long-overdue return to Australian stages. While official details remain under wraps, this tour is shaping up to be one fans won’t want to miss.
From Europe to Australia: A Rollercoaster Ride
The 2025 Australian tour announcement follows turbulence during the band’s current Popular MonsTOUR II: World Domination. While the shows themselves have been praised for their high-energy spectacle, the European leg hit a few snags. Production issues led to the cancellation of three high-profile shows—Germany, Hungary, and the Netherlands—disappointing fans and prompting refunds. A second show in Prague was added to ease the blow, but it served as a reminder of the logistical challenges faced by a band operating at this scale.
Despite these setbacks, Falling in Reverse has kept their momentum. Known for their unpredictable live performances and genre-blending sound, the band continues to push boundaries, even as they navigate criticism and logistical hurdles.
Radke vs. The Scene: Controversy Never Sleeps
Ronnie Radke is no stranger to the spotlight—or the backlash that often comes with it. Just this year, he stirred debate in the music world with pointed criticism of what he called “virtue-signalling political bands.” In a viral social media post, he lamented the state of the scene, saying, “The scene needs a reset. Bands that just want to play music can’t tour with woke bands without their fans crying about it.”
The comments, unsurprisingly, sparked both support and condemnation. For every fan applauding Radke’s no-holds-barred attitude, there’s another accusing him of deepening divides in an already fractured scene. Love him or loathe him, Radke’s willingness to speak his mind has made him one of the most polarising figures in alternative music.
The Journey That Defined Falling in Reverse
Falling in Reverse’s rise has been anything but conventional. Born out of Radke’s departure from Escape the Fate—a split fuelled by legal troubles and a prison sentence—the band quickly made a name for themselves with their 2011 debut, The Drug in Me Is You. Blending metalcore with pop-punk hooks, the album set the stage for their evolution into genre-defying innovators.
Tracks like ‘Popular Monster’ and ‘Zombified’ have since solidified their place in the alternative music canon. Along the way, Radke’s headline-grabbing antics—from onstage incidents to social media spats—have both alienated and galvanised fans. Yet, through it all, the band has kept audiences captivated, if not always united.
Why This Tour Matters
The Australian 2025 tour will mark Falling in Reverse’s first headline run in Australia since their Count Rockula tour in 2016 and their first appearance on Aussie soil since the 2019 Good Things Festival. It’s a return that’s been highly anticipated, though not without its share of divided opinions. For some fans, Radke remains an unshakable icon; for others, his controversies cloud the music. But whether you love him or hate him, one thing’s undeniable—controversy sells.
Radke’s success speaks for itself, most recently highlighted by his purchase of a $9 million home in Los Angeles. The move signals just how far he and Falling in Reverse have come, with the band’s ability to stay relevant—and profitable—despite the backlash. While his critics may question his every move, Radke continues to thrive, both onstage and off.
What’s undeniable is the loyalty of their Australian fanbase. Despite the polarising headlines, their music continues to resonate, with its genre-blending sound and unflinching honesty striking a chord with fans across the country.
With their explosive live shows and a back catalogue stacked with anthems, this tour promises to be a standout moment in 2025’s alternative music calendar.
Looking Ahead
As Falling in Reverse prepares to return to Australian shores, fans can look forward to a live experience that is as unpredictable as Radke himself. The band has built a career on defying expectations, and this tour is sure to deliver more of the same.
One thing’s for sure: Falling in Reverse isn’t just coming back—they’re making a statement. Keep your eyes on Blunt for the official dates and ticket information as they drop. This is one tour you either will, or won’t want to miss.
