The energy on stage was nonstop as the crew bounced across every inch of the platform, firing off hits that had the crowd jumping, chanting, and throwing hands in the air.

Slaughter To Prevail cook over next and immediately dialed the intensity up several notches. The shift in energy was undeniable. From the second Alex Terrible’s voice hit the speakers, the pit transformed into a sea of motion. Their brand of deathcore is unrelenting, but what really made the set special was how tight and deliberate everything felt. This wasn’t chaos for chaos’s sake. It was a full-force display of musicianship and control, delivered with maximum impact. Fans came ready for brutality, and Slaughter To Prevail gave them a set that felt like a war cry.

Falling In Reverse closed the night with a theatrical, high-production set that didn’t just meet expectations, it blasted through them. But not without a few early setbacks. During the first two songs, the pyro effects failed to launch, prompting Ronnie Radke to stop the set and reset the moment. After being told the issue was fixed, he attempted the second song again. When the problem happened a second time, he paused the show entirely until everything was tested properly. Once the team gave the green light, Ronnie performed “Zombified” for a third time, this time with full production behind it. The crowd responded with massive energy and appreciation. It was clear he wanted fans to get the show they paid for, and he wasn’t going to move forward until that happened. 📸 Check out the full gallery.

From there, the band tore through a cinematic, high-octane performance that had the crowd completely locked in. Ronnie’s stage presence was magnetic, shifting between raw emotion and explosive confidence, while the band sounded tighter than ever. Visuals lit up the night, pyro filled the air, and every drop felt like a main event. It was clear that every detail had been crafted to deliver an unforgettable experience. Fans screamed, moshed, cried, and lived every second of it. What could have been a rocky start turned into a standout night of the tour, and one that fans at Ruoff won’t be forgetting anytime soon.
