FALLING IN REVERSE’s Ronnie Radke Throws Inflatable Mic Stands Into Crowd at ‘Vans Warped Tour,’ Mocking 2012 Arrest

During last weekend’s 30th anniversary stop of the Vans Warped Tour in Long Beach, CA, Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke poked fun at one of his most infamous moments onstage. Radke brought out inflatable microphone stands—much safer than the original—and tossed them into the crowd ahead of performing the band’s hit “F*ck You And All Your Friends.”

This move recalled a controversial 2012 incident at a New Jersey Falling In Reverse show, where Radke threw a mic stand into the audience, injuring a 16-year-old female and a 24-year-old male. Video footage from that night suggested no malicious intent but reckless behavior. The fallout led to Radke’s arrest on charges of simple and aggravated assault, and the venue reportedly vowed never to host another metal show.

Radke has made light of the incident before, and now fans caught his recent tongue-in-cheek tribute live on video below:
