A Limp Bizkit concert in Estonia next year has been cancelled, after Fred Durst’s old pro-Russia comments resurfaced online.
The band were set to play the Unibet Arena in the capital city, Tallinn, on May 31 2026, but the event’s Facebook page has now been changed to “cancelled”.
According to Estonia’s public broadcaster, ERR, the gig was first postponed, with hopes of finding a new date, before pre-sale tickets were made available on Monday (November 10).
However, the show’s promoter, Baltic Live Agency, has now chosen to cancel the gig altogether, saying in a statement: “We inform you that due to circumstances beyond the organiser’s control, the Limp Bizkit concert planned for May 31, 2026, is cancelled. Our apologies!”
They did not give a reason for the cancellation; however, the news comes amid backlash over Durst’s history of pro-Russian comments.
In 2015, after Russia’s annexation of Crimea, Durst spoke about his desire to obtain a Russian passport, and wrote a letter to Crimean authorities calling Vladimir Putin a “great guy with clear moral principles.” He also held up a sign on stage that read “Crimea=Russia.”
Durst’s comments also resulted in Limp Bizkit being banned from Ukraine for five years.
