It was the perfect late-summer day in Hershey, PA, with blue skies and the promise of one of the most talked-about rock tours of the year. The God Is a Weapon Tour packed the stadium, and the venue itself warned fans to prepare for a sell-out crowd. By the time gates opened, the air buzzed with anticipation.
Opening the night was Sleep Theory, the newest addition to the tour. Their set was clean, polished, and filled with fun energy that quickly won the crowd over. Songs like “Fallout,” “Numb,” and “Gravity” showed off their knack for blending modern rock with pop sensibilities. As openers, they set the tone perfectly, proving why they’ve quickly become a band to watch.
Next up, Hollywood Undead brought pure electricity to the stage. Their energy was infectious, with each member leaning into the band’s trademark mix of hip-hop, rock, and chaos. Fans sang and shouted along to “Riot,” “Chaos,” and “Comin’ In Hot,” as the group turned the venue into one massive party. Entertaining, high-octane, and impossible to ignore, their set was one of the night’s highlights.
If Hollywood Undead was chaos, Slaughter to Prevail was carnage. Donning their infamous masks, the band unleashed a wave of deathcore intensity that shook the stadium. Alex Terrible’s guttural growls paired with pounding bass and precision drumming created a terrifyingly beautiful storm of sound. Fans ate it up, from “Banditos” to “Baba Yaga” and “Viking.” Alex’s humor showed through too, even joking about his “dad shoes,” and the crowd responded with roaring approval. With their drummer finally rejoining after travel issues, the band sounded tighter than ever, and the energy was undeniable.
By the time Falling In Reverse took the stage, the stadium was bursting at the seams — fans even gathered outside the venue walls, hoping to catch a glimpse of Ronnie Radke on the big screen. From the first notes of “God Is a Weapon,” it was clear why this band continues to dominate conversations in modern rock.
The production was massive: dazzling visuals, pyrotechnics, and fire lighting up the stage. Ronnie was his usual high-intensity self, interacting constantly with the crowd, at one point even entering it. His vocal range was jaw-dropping — seamlessly shifting from raw screams to soaring melodies, proving again why he’s one of the most versatile vocalists in the genre.
The setlist carried no shortage of fan favorites. “Popular Monster” and “Watch the World Burn” had the entire stadium on its feet, while the collaboration track Ronald with Alex Terrible created one of the night’s most unforgettable moments. When Ronnie asked the audience to light up the night, thousands of cell phone lights turned the stadium into a glowing sea of stars — a breathtaking sight.
Special mention must be given to the band itself: were phenomenal, with tight musicianship and impressive backup vocals that added power to the performance.
The Hershey stop of the God Is a Weapon Tour was more than a concert — it was a statement. From newcomers like Sleep Theory to veterans like Hollywood Undead and the unrelenting force of Slaughter to Prevail, the night built perfectly toward Falling In Reverse’s explosive finale. With fans of all ages singing, moshing, and raising their lights to the sky, the show underscored the unifying power of music — and solidified Ronnie Radke and Falling In Reverse as one of rock’s most compelling live acts today.
