Dallas got a full-scale rock ’n’ roll feast last night when Falling In Reverse’s God Is A Weapon Tour rolled into town, bringing Wage War, Tech N9ne, and Sleep Theory along for the ride. From the first note of the opener to the last pyro blast of the headliner, it was a night built for volume, spectacle, and zero apologies.
Sleep Theory had the unenviable task of opening the night under the Texas sun, with the crowd still making its way through security and grabbing drinks. But if they noticed the half-empty seats, they sure didn’t act like it. Frontman Cullen Moore led the charge with vocals that soared over the pounding rhythm section, and the band played like they were headlining a sold-out stadium.

Their sound was a slick blend of heavy grooves and big, hooky choruses that had early arrivals nodding along, singing where they knew the words, and throwing up horns like it was already midnight. The guys moved with purpose. No statues on stage here, every riff and drum hit carrying the energy up a notch. By the time their short set wrapped, the crowd had doubled, and the anticipation for the rest of the night was electric.
Tech N9ne followed, flipping the script with a rapid-fire hip-hop assault that somehow fit the bill perfectly. His set was all energy, charisma, and breathless speed, proving why he’s been able to cross genre lines for decades.

Then came Wage War, and the intensity level jumped another notch. They tore into a 10-song set that kicked off with “Tombstone,” instantly detonating the pit into chaos. From that moment on, it was pedal-to-the-floor mayhem. The catwalk became lead vocalist Briton Bond’s personal warpath, charging up and down it like a man on a mission, leaning towards the crowd, screaming, and making sure no section of the pavilion felt left out.

The rest of the band matched that ferocity…tight, crushing riffs, and bone-rattling breakdowns that hit like a freight train. Every song kept the adrenaline flowing, and by the end of their set, sweat was flying, voices were hoarse, and the air felt charged like a thunderstorm was about to break. It was a textbook case of a support act playing like they were out to steal the whole show.
The lights went black, the giant screens lit up, and there was Ronnie Radke, frontman of Falling In Reverse, swaggering backstage with his crew in full rockstar formation, cameras following every step. Eminem’s “Slim Shady” blasted over the speakers, setting the attitude dial to maximum.
When the band finally hit the stage, the crowd roared like an engine redlining. Radke grabbed the mic, stationed behind a catwalk that stretched the whole length of the stage, and tore into “Prequel” from 2024’s Popular Monster. Then, with the lights exploding around him, he made his move, jumping onto the catwalk and owning it for pretty much the rest of the night.
Between songs, Ronnie worked the crowd like a seasoned showman, tossing out jokes and quick-witted banter that drew thunderous applause. The audience was a wild mix…teenagers, adults, even little kids pressed up against the barricade, including one with a full-on Mohawk that deserved its own spotlight.
Radke’s stage presence was undeniable. Even the way he sang was a performance, sometimes holding his hand high near his mouth and shaking it like he was physically pulling the notes from deep inside his chest.
The production was arena-rock perfection: jaw-dropping pyrotechnics, blinding strobes, and a light show that made every song feel bigger than life.
The 18-song setlist was a fan’s dream pulling from every corner of the band’s catalog, and ended with a bold, arena-shaking cover of Queen’s “We Are the Champions.”

Of course, Radke has been making headlines offstage too. The Austin date for August 13 was canceled, with reports citing low ticket sales. Radke quickly fired back on Instagram, calling out the “inaccuracy” of those claims.
But drama or no drama, the Dallas gig proved one thing: Ronnie Radke was born for this. Ego? Check. Vocal chops? Absolutely. Stage presence? Off the charts. The God Is A Weapon Tour barrels on through September 26, finishing in Las Vegas and if you’re anywhere near a tour stop, skip the excuses and go.
