Falling In Reverse Frontman Arrested After Injuring Fans At NJ Show
The recent “Six Flags FestEVIL” show held at the “Six Flags Great Adventure & Wild Safari” in New Jersey will be the last event of its kind at the location. The news comes following a series of injuries caused by Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke, who during the closing of his bands headlining set threw three microphone stands into the audience.
According to police, both a 16 year old girl and a 24 year old male were struck in the head by the stands . They were each treated on site for their injuries, which included bruises and cuts. Radke was summarily arrested for simple assault and aggravated assault as a result of the incident and has since been released on $25,000 bail.
Along with Falling In Reverse, the festival also saw performances from the likes of We Came As Romans, Norma Jean, Born Of Osiris and many more.
Park spokeswoman Kristin Siebeneicher told the Asbury Park Press that: “this was the first metal show that we’ve ever had, and will be the last. We have no plans to host another metal show.” She continued: “this performer was completely reckless. He had complete disregard for the safety of his fans. His actions were totally unacceptable. It’s not the type of entertainment that we want to be producing.”
Video footage of the incident, which did not appear to be malicious, can be seen below:

If this had happened in Arlington, Judge Roy would have screamed!
They don’t ever have metal shows here do they? In Arlington?
i know they have local ones. there is a hole in every part of texas where some rednecks want to hear a pantera riff.
Stupid fuck.
Looks like a brotastic good time. God this band looks horrible and the lead singer looks like a retard, glad he got arrested.
While I don’t necessarily dislike all of the bands that played this show, I almost pissed myself laughing when I read that this was supposed to be a “metal show”. LOL. Ronnie “James Dio” Radke <3
Even though it’s Six Flags, it’s now another place that wont accept “metal music.” What an idiot.. And my friends band played that show. wordddddd!!
Way to fuck up another outlet for fans to see metal shows and give metal a bad name.
Ronnie Radke is a fuckin joke throw that loser back in a Las Vegas jail and throw away the key.
LOSER!!
Lol it must be really embarrassing to play Six Flags
Who?
Isn’t this the second time he’s been arrested in the last month, didn’t he beat his girlfriend up like a month ago? Also who gets hit with a fucking mic stand, would have loved to have seen that.
I’m sure the “victims” were both texting at the time to tell facebook how great the show was…you know versus watching the stage and knowing when to hit the fucking deck!
I was at this show, strictly to see Norma Jean and Born of Osiris, who luckily played back to back. It was the worst crowd of people I have ever seen in my life. NJ was awesome though, and I rode the Superman Roller Coaster with their Drummer and Guitarist lol.
I didn’t pay to get into the park to see the show, I was planning on going to frightfest at some point (six flags is cooler when its all halloweened out) but I saw Norma Jean was playing so I was like “well this would be a good day to go” and the admission price was lower that day as well. Win all around.
But, yea, I guess its back to seeing Kansas and Lifehouse at Six Flags.
Wait… What the hell?? Isn’t that the old singer of Escape the Fate? I’m really confused. I thought he ODed?
Yes, he is. But he didn’t overdose, he “only” had to go to prison.
