Falling In Reverse have postponed their upcoming UK and Ireland tour.
The post-metalcore band were due to play arena shows in Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, London and Glasgow this month as part of The Popular MonsTOUR II: World Domination, but the dates have been postponed until 2025 after controversial frontman Ronnie Radke was refused entry to the UK by the Home Office due to his criminal history. A statement from the band shared by Cardiff Utilita Arena to X reads:
"We are sorry to announce that the home office has denied Ronnie’s visa application for entry. The UK is currently refusing entry to visa applicants who served more than 12 months prison time, as Ronnie did in 2008.
"Therefore, we will not be able to come to the UK this month to perform the shows we were greatly looking forward to. We will be postponing the shows to next year while we continue to work thru this issue legally to obtain the necessary visa.
"We will keep you posted as we know more. For anyone who cannot attend the new dates, refunds are available at point of purchase. Thanks everyone for your support and we hope to see you next year."
The North American leg of the trek took place in the summer, and wrapped up in Los Angeles on September 26.
Falling In Reverse are touring in support of their first album in seven years, 'Popular Monster', which arrived in August, following up 2017's 'Coming Home'.
