Concert Review: Falling in Reverse @ Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena 7/3/2023 – Baltimore, MD

*Falling in Reverse (Photo by John Krebs)*

Falling in Reverse came to the Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena in Baltimore, MD on 7/3/2023. The band is currently on their “Popular Monstour” tour and the supporting bands depend on the date! This date brought Crown the Empire, Slaughter to Prevail, and Ice Nine Kills. I have been a fan of Ronnie Radke and Falling in a Reverse for years now and was excited to be able to capture their performance. I might have had a fanboy moment once or twice in the pit as I was snapping pictures.

Anyway, keep reading below for more photos of Falling in Reverse and my full review of the show. Be sure to check out Falling in Reverse’s Official Website for music, videos, news, and tickets for all upcoming tour dates. All images copyright and courtesy of John Krebs.

Bravo!

Ministry and the beloved Uncle Al stopped to perform at The Fillmore in Silver Spring, MD on 5/3/2023.
