Falling in Reverse Addresses U.K. Tour Postponement
Falling in Reverse has officially announced the postponement of their highly anticipated U.K. tour dates originally scheduled for December 2024. This decision comes as a disappointment to fans eagerly awaiting the performances, but it stems from unforeseen complications related to frontman Ronnie Radke’s visa status. Currently, the band is amidst their European tour, receiving mixed responses following several other cancelations. The U.K. shows, which were to take place from December 4 to December 16, will now be rescheduled due to Radke’s visa issues.
In their statement shared via Instagram, the band expressed their regret: “We are saddened to inform you that the home office has denied Ronnie’s visa application for the remaining 2024 U.K. shows… The U.K. is presently denying entry to visa applicants with a prison record exceeding 12 months, which applies to Ronnie’s situation from 2008.” This challenging circumstance has forced the band to put their planned performances on hold.
Despite this setback, Falling in Reverse remains hopeful and committed to resolving the visa issues as they stated, “Consequently, we will not be able to visit the U.K. this month for the shows we were eagerly looking forward to. We are postponing these performances until next year while we actively work to address this matter legally and secure the necessary visa.” Fans are encouraged to retain their tickets, and those unable to attend the new dates will be eligible for refunds.
The specific rescheduled dates will be announced soon, so fans should stay tuned for updates. In the meantime, they can view the complete statement on the band’s social media platforms and check out their official website for the latest tour information and updates on upcoming performances.
Recently, Falling in Reverse has also had to cancel various other shows across Europe, citing “production-related logistical issues” as the underlying reason. When a fan inquired about the cancellation of their concert in Vienna, Austria, Radke responded with a heated exchange, expressing frustration and using strong language, emphasizing that many factors contribute to show cancellations that fans may not fully understand.
Radke’s passionate response included a colorful remark: “Go eat a f–king Vienna sausage and shut the f–k up,” showcasing his candid personality and the pressures of touring. Additionally, Radke appears to be involved in a dispute with Nova Rock Festival after Falling in Reverse was removed from the 2025 lineup, which features major acts such as Korn, Linkin Park, Slipknot, and Electric Callboy.
The band had only announced their participation in the festival mid-November, leaving uncertainty as to whether they withdrew voluntarily or were excluded from the lineup. Regardless, Radke took to Instagram to share a humorous post featuring a can of Vienna sausages with the band’s name, tagging the festival in a lighthearted yet pointed jab.
