Falling in Reverse Rocks the Stage: A Night of High-Energy Anthems and Electric Performances!

   In a night filled with thunderous applause and unforgettable performances, Falling In Reverse headlined a sensational show at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, featuring an impressive lineup of opening acts: Dance Gavin Dance, Black Veil Brides, Tech N9ne, and Jeris Johnson.

    Jeris Johnson kicked off the evening with a burst of energy, delivering a set that seamlessly blended rock with electronic elements. His dynamic performance set a high bar for the night, showcasing his knack for high-octane, engaging live shows. The crowd responded with enthusiasm, clearly excited for what was to come.

    Following Johnson, Tech N9ne took the stage with his signature rapid-fire raps and intricate lyrics. His set was a masterclass in the art of performance, as he captivated the audience with his electrifying presence and complex rhythms. Tech N9ne’s stagecraft and charisma were evident, making it clear why he's a staple in the world of rap and hip-hop.

    As the night progressed, Black Veil Brides ramped up the intensity with their signature theatrical rock. Their set was a high-energy spectacle, complete with elaborate costumes and anthemic choruses. The crowd sang along to hits like “In the End” and “Knives and Pens” and the band's dramatic flair added a unique flavor to the evening. They included a new song that was just released this past April called Bleeders which is the title track for the band's new EP of the same name. Black Veil Brides consists of: Andy Biersack - lead vocals, Jinxx - rhythm guitar, Jake Pitts - lead guitar, Christian "CC" Coma - drums and Lonny Eagleton - bass.

    Dance Gavin Dance then took the stage, offering a sonic shift with their experimental post-hardcore sound. Their performance was both technically impressive and emotionally resonant, featuring complex guitar work and soaring vocals. Songs like “Synergy” and “Evaporate” had fans moving and singing along, proving why Dance Gavin Dance continues to be a standout in the genre. Their current lineup consists of: Jon Mess - unclean vocals, Andrew Wells - clean vocals, Matt Mingus - drums, Will Swan - lead guitar and backing vocals, Sergio Medina - bass and Martin Bianchini - rhythm guitar.

    Finally, the moment everyone had been waiting for arrived. Falling In Reverse took the stage to a roar of approval from the packed pavilion. The band launched into their set with a powerful mix of their greatest hits and new material. Ronnie Radke’s charismatic frontman presence and the band’s intense energy created an electric atmosphere that permeated the entire venue. From the crowd-pleasing “Popular Monster” to the anthemic “The Drug In Me Is You”, every song was met with enthusiastic participation from the audience. Songs form the bands newest release entitled Popular Monster included the tracks "Bad Guy" and "All My Life". The latter track "All My Life" is a departure from their normal sound and features Jelly Roll and his wife Bunny XO in the video. Reguarding this track, Ronnie said that a good song doesn't always have to be in your genre and that a good song is a song that you can have fun with. The Current Falling in Reverse lineup: Ronnie Radke - lead vocals, Christian Thompson - rhythm guitar, Luke Hollard - drums, Tyler Burgess - bass and Mark Okubo - rhythm guitar.

    The night was a testament to the diverse range of talent in the rock and rap scenes, with each act contributing to a memorable and high-energy show.
