Ronnie Radke Roasts ‘Thirsty’ Fans, Takes a Jab at Sleep Token?

Share

Radke shut down the “Take it off” chants at the Falling in Reverse show in Brisbane—then randomly mentioned Sleep Token. Does he know something we don’t?

Ronnie Radke has never been one to hold back, but his March 18, 2025, show in Brisbane might have just served up one of his most unexpectedly hilarious moments yet.

When the crowd started chanting “Take it off!”, urging Radke to lose his shirt, he wasn’t having it. Instead of obliging, he hit back with:

“You fking weirdos, there’s kids here! If I wanna take it off, I’m like, ah, uh-uh, with this horny sht, man. Sleep Token’s coming here next year—you guys can go f**king run out to that sht!”**

Wait… what?

What Just Happened?

  1. Did Ronnie just leak a Sleep Token Australian tour for 2026?
  2. Was this a dig at Vessel, the mysterious, shirtless frontman of Sleep Token?
  3. Or does Radke just hate thirst-trap culture? He doubled down after the remark, ranting: “It’s gross! Stop being so fking gross!”** before mocking the old-school days of Mötley Crüe and their t**ties-out stage antics.

The Irony Here is Off the Charts

  • Radke himself has performed shirtless more times than anyone can count, but the one time fans actually request it, he flips the script and goes full anti-horny police.
  • Sleep Token’s fanbase is notorious for posting thirst traps of Vessel, and Radke basically just told them to take that energy elsewhere.
  • If he does have inside info on a Sleep Token tour, he just casually dropped one of the biggest leaks in the most offhand way possible.

What’s More Likely?

Let’s be real—this is probably just classic Ronnie, mixing sarcasm with his usual confrontational stage presence. But it’s also not impossible that he let something slip. Radke’s got deep industry ties, and accidental leaks happen more often than artists would like to admit.

Either way, it’s peak Radke: trolling, unpredictable, and leaving fans questioning everything.
