It would appear that Falling In Reverse and the country of Austria are just not meant to be. Earlier this week, the multi-platinum alternative metal band made a last minute cancellation on the day of their scheduled November 26th Vienna, Austria show at the Gasometer. Their planned November 28th show in Prague was canceled in that same announcement. As these two dates were the fifth cancelations of the band’s ongoing fall European/UK tour thus far, fans were understandably weary of these latest developments.
However, the last minute announcement of the cancelation of the Vienna show on the day of the event proved to be a point of contention for European fans of the band, with many taking to Reddit to vent. While there was not direct reason given for the cancelation other than ‘unforeseen circumstances’, Falling In Reverse vocalist Ronnie Radke seemed intent on pouring fuel on the fire by slamming fans upset about shows being canceled in general.
He subsequently launched into an expletive-laden tirade during some video game streaming yesterday, going off on a fan who asked why the Vienna show was canceled. After banning them for asking the question, he went on to state:
“People don’t understand. You guys just get f*cking mad because you’re not you can’t see your favorite singer. You don’t understand what f*cking venues do. There’s a whole f*cking laundry list of things, of reasons why shows get canceled, guys. It’s not like ‘I don’t feel so good.’
Or even, even then. If someone doesn’t feel good, you guys still f*cking berate us. When somebody’s sick and they have to cancel, you guys still f*cking berate everyone. So go, f*ck yourself. f*ck you. I f*cking hate fans like that. You’re not a f*cking fan. You’re entitled, spoiled little f*cking brat. Go, f*ck off. f*ck you.
I’m dead serious. I can’t stand that. ‘Wah, wah, we didn’t get to go see our favorite singer perform.’ You have no idea how this shit f*cking works. You think people just cancel shows to cancel? Yeah, some people do. You know some people do do that. Who cares?
Okay, it’s f*cking… it doesn’t… We don’t, you don’t need an explanation on why we canceled the show. Just know that it’s probably for a f*cking important reason. So go f*ck off anyway.
Welcome to the stream, guys, with your f*cking parasocial relationships, thinking that you have any sort of true connection to f*cking, to, to the person, you know, the band member.
‘You owe us an explanation.’ I don’t owe you sh*t. You understand. if a show gets canceled, know it’s for an important reason. You don’t understand. There’s safety things, there’s there’s reasons for… there’s people’s personal health, there’s safety issues that happen.”
Later in that rant, Radke also offered:
“You know what? Rest of the tour is canceled. I don’t feel like playing. This isn’t… I’m not Playboy Cardi, okay? We don’t… Not Axl Rose, we’re not doing that. You understand. There’s reasons. We have reasons to believe that Vienna fans are soft as shit. That’s the reason why we’re not playing. Just kidding. Anyway, I’m just kidding. I’m just joking about that.
But hey, shows get canceled, man. Motherf*cker, Bad Omens canceled an entire Europe tour because his mental health. I don’t see any you guys f*cking getting mad at him. You understand? Go eat a f*cking Vienna sausage and shut the f*ck up.”
Now it has been announced that Falling In Reverse will no longer be performing on a big metal and rock festival in Austria next summer. On November 14th, the multi-platinum alternative metal band announced they would be appearing at next year’s ‘Nova Rock‘ festival at Pannonia Fields in Nickelsdorf, AUT on June 11th.
Today, November 28th, it was revealed that Falling In Reverse will no longer be playing that event. Festival organizers weren’t forthcoming with details, offering only the following statement: “Falling in Reverse will not play at Nova Rock 2025.”
Whether or not Radke‘s comments or the recent concert cancelation played any part in that latest development is unclear. Per the below exchange on Instagram, one user looked to have called out Radke over the band no longer being booked on the aforementioned festival. That individual stated: “HAHHAHAHA you just got ejected from the Nova Rock Lineup Hopefully Graspop, Rock am Ring and all other festivals will do the same.”
Radke appears to have directly replied, “They still have to pay me, Mr. Vienna sausage body”
