Limp Bizkit are coming to the UAE: Venue, ticket details and more
The legendary rap-rock band is set to tear up Etihad Arena on Tuesday August 12 and we're already feeling the nostalgia hit hard.
Yes, Fred Durst and the gang are making their long-awaited return to the UAE thanks to Live Nation Middle East, in partnership with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi and Miral.
If you missed them the first time round, now's your chance to scream every lyric to My Way, Rollin' and Break Stuff at the top of your lungs, surrounded by fellow nu-metal diehards.
As one of the most recognisable (and controversial) bands of the early 2000s, Limp Bizkit's mix of aggressive guitars, hip-hop beats and anti-establishment energy defined a generation. And judging by recent gigs, they've still got it.
Want in? Here's the drill: Live Nation presale kicks off on Thursday April 24 at 12pm via LiveNation.me, with the general sale dropping the next day, Friday April 25 at 12pm.
Ticket prices have not yet been revealed but they are expected to fly when they go on sale, so don't hang around.
Let's be honest – nothing says 'stress relief' quite like jumping up and down in a crowd to Nookie and Take a Look Around. Whether you're a lifelong fan or just in it for the mosh pit mayhem, this is one gig you won't want to miss.
Tue Aug 12. Etihad Arena, Yas Island. Live Nation presale starts Thu Apr 24, 12pm; general onsale Fri Apr 25, 12pm. livenation.me.

Twice ‘This is For' World Tour
Well-loved K-pop group Twice have just embarked on their sixth world tour starting in July, and they've put both Hong Kong and Macau on their concert schedule. They've just released their This is For album and performed at Lollapalooza Chicago earlier this month, and will soon make their way to our shores. The nine-member girl group will perform at The Venetian Arena in Macau on September 27 and 28, then return to take over the Kai Tak Stadium on December 6. We've heard that they'll be setting up 360-degree stages to remove the traditional barrier between artists and audiences, allowing for a more immersive concert experience. Tickets for Twice's Macau show run from $799 to $2,499, with the VIP package offering access to the pre-show soundcheck, a VIP laminate and lanyard, a postcard set, and an exclusive merch lane. The Live Nation pre-sale starts on August 14 while general sales open on August 15. Keep an eye out for Hong Kong ticketing details further down the line.

Live Nation beats revenue estimates on red-hot concert demand
Aug 7 (Reuters) - Ticketmaster-parent Live Nation Entertainment (LYV.N), opens new tab beat Wall Street estimates for second-quarter revenue on Thursday, driven by strong demand for concerts. The results signal continued resilience and growth in the live entertainment industry amid economic uncertainty. Fans are still willing to spend on live experiences such as concerts and events, helping Live Nation Entertainment — a bellwether for discretionary consumer spending and the health of the global entertainment market. However, shares of the company fell nearly 4% in extended trading, as it also said its quarterly profit came in at 41 cents per share, down from $1.03 per share a year earlier. The stock has risen about 15% so far this year. "Global expansion continues to drive touring growth, with fan attendance hitting new highs and ticket buying strong at every price point from VIP to the back row," CEO Michael Rapino said in a statement. "To meet this momentum, we're expanding our global venue portfolio and investing in the artists who make it all possible." The company reported a 16% surge in revenue to $7.01 billion, beating analysts' average estimate of $6.84 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. The majority of its revenue, or about $5.95 billion, came from the concerts business, which consists of merchandise sales and the production of live music events, followed by $742.7 million from ticketing. Live Nation's total estimated events in the April-to-June period fell about 2.6% to 14,292 from last year, but 44.2 million fans attended its shows — compared with 22.3 million in the previous quarter. Total estimated tickets sold in the quarter ended June 30 stood at 155.8 million, compared with 155.1 million in the first quarter. Live Nation said tariffs are expected to have minimal impact on its venue investment costs, festival supply chain and other expenses. Its adjusted operating income stood at $798 million, compared with estimates of $756.1 million.
