Loudwire has reported that a Limp Bizkit concert planned for next year in Estonia has been called off. Reports say the May 31 show was axed apparently due to singer Fred Durst’s past comments praising Russia and President Vladimir Putin.
“We inform you that due to circumstances beyond the organizer’s control, the Limp Bizkit concert planned for May 31, 2026, is canceled. Our apologies,” a comment from concert promoter Baltic Live Agency reads on the Facebook event listing.
An Estonian news agency has reported that Estonia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spoke out against the concert when it was first announced. The ministry said: “there is no place in Estonia for a supporter of an aggressor state.”
Durst was banned from Ukraine in 2015 after saying he wanted to move to Crimea. “How Russia is portrayed in the media is far from reality, and I want to prove to everyone that it’s really cool!” Durst reportedly said in a radio interview.
Radio Free Europe reported that Durst sent a letter to Crimean authorities raving about Putin. Durst allegedly wrote: “I am sure that we can do many important things together and it will help Russia, and it will help people all around the world to understand that Putin is a great guy with clear moral principles and a nice person.”
