Limp Bizkit are coming to the UAE: Venue, ticket details and more
Nu-metal fans, it's time to dust off your backwards caps and cargo pants – Limp Bizkit are heading to Abu Dhabi for one loud, rebellious night of rock chaos.
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.

Metallica resale tickets and how to get yours after general onsale
Metallica resale tickets and how to get yours after general onsale Metallica will be hitting the road to tour the UK next year. Here's how to get involved. Metallica tickets are out right now. (Image: GETTY ) Earlier this month, Metallica sent shockwaves through the music world with the announcement of their M72 world tour in the UK next year. The tour will feature four massive shows at stadiums across the country, including Glasgow's Hampden Park, Cardiff's Principality Stadium and the London Stadium. The band are promising unique and exceptional setlists on each night, including totally different sets of music across the two-day events in London. As a result, demand was extremely high. When tickets first went on sale last week - on Friday, 30 May 2025, at 10am - they were snapped up almost immediately after general onsale began. Consequently, fans have been resorting to purchasing resale tickets from various secondary market websites such as viagogo and StubHub.

Here's the breakdown. Viagogo and resale tickets Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs. Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused.

Drake announces UK summer tour as he returns for the first time in six years - but will he face an awkward run in with nemesis Kendrick Lamar?
Drake has announced his highly-anticipated return to Europe and the UK for the first time in six years following his 2019 Assassination Vacation Tour.. The five-time Grammy-award winning artist will be landing in the UK in July for his $ome $pecial $hows tour. Kicking things off with two dates in Birmingham at the Utilita Arena on July 20 and 21, he will then perform two dates in Manchester at the Co-op Live on July 25 and 26, before heading to Europe. However Drake could face an award run in with his nemesis Kendrick Lamar who is also scheduled to tour the UK in the same month. Tickets will go on sale via on Friday, June 6 and an additional Live Nation pre-sale will take place on Wednesday 4 June. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes after Drake was announced to be making history as he headlines London's Wireless festival for all three nights. He will make history as the world's first artist to headline a festival for three nights with three different setlists later this year, with each night featuring unique setlists and special guests. The festival sold out within minutes, marking the fastest sell-out in its 20-year history. Meanwhile Toronto-born Drake and multi Grammy winner Kendrick have been embroiled in a furious rivalry for years, despite collaborating on each other's records in the early days of their careers. Drake had desperately tried to prevent Lamar from performing his scathing diss track Not Like Us, in which he refers to the Canadian as a 'certified pedophile,' to 83,000 fans at the game. He had reportedly banned his close friends from watching the set and refused to talk about it. But despite his failure to veto the track, he was 'happy' that viewers tuning in at home were less than impressed by Lamar's performance. 'Drake put his friends on a Super Bowl ban and did not tune into the show,' an insider told 'He was not able to stop Not Like Us from being played and wasn't happy about it. 'He knows it resonated with Kendrick's target audience who have basically exiled him.' The source added, 'But he is happy that people weren't impressed by Kendrick's performance and is feeling better about his chances of a comeback - even if he does feel that he has lost some of his core fans.' Despite Drake recently suing his and Kendrick's record label, Universal Music Group, over the controversial Not Like Us, Kendrick performed the song, but he omitted the accusation. Lamar made reference to the lawsuit before launching into the track, telling the crowd: 'I want to perform their favorite song, but you know they love to sue.' But he did deliver two other controversial lines, including 'Say Drake, I hear you like them young' and 'trying to strike a chord and it's probably a minor.' He also wore a big silver chain pendant with a small letter 'a', an apparent reference to 'A minor' in the lyrics. Drake's tour coincides with Kendrick's date in the UK as he embarks on a series of shows with SZA. The collaborators are bringing their Grand National Tour to Glasgow, Birmingham, London and Cardiff in July. The summer run will begin on July 8 at Glasgow's Hampden Park and wrap at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on July 22.

Rising Korean star Bibi is coming to Hong Kong on her world tour
South Korean singer-songwriter and actress Bibi has just kick started her first-ever world tour 'Eve' – starting with Seoul, she is taking the stage across the US and Canada before making her way back to Asian cities including Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, Osaka, Tokyo, Fukuoka, Taipei, and Jakarta, finally also extending to Australia and New Zealand towards the latter part of this year. Since her debut in 2019, Bibi has established herself as a strong contender in the Korean hip-hop scene, with a genre-bending sound that blends R&B, indie rock, and funk-pop influences. She unapologetically explores themes of mental distress and self-discovery, and her music video for Derre featured herself in a queer romantic storyline, which is rarely seen in the oft-sanitised mainstream Korean music industry. Bibi's 2024 single Bam Yang Gang also swiftly became viral for its accompanying challenge of singing the song while eating bamyanggeaeng chestnut jelly. She has just released her second studio album Eve: Romance in May, so expect to hear bangers like Hongdae R&B, Bluebird, and more performed live. Bibi will take the stage at the AsiaWorld-Expo on Sunday, August 3, with tickets running from $699 to $1,799. The VIP packages will include a special laminate and lanyard, an autographed postcard, early access to merch, access to the pre-show soundcheck party, and a group photo with Bibi herself for VVIPs. Official fans can get first pick of tickets with the pookïe Membership (Global) pre-sale at 10am on Wednesday, June 4, followed by the Live Nation members pre-sale at 4pm on the same day. Tickets for the general public will then be released from 3pm onwards on June 5.
