Limp Bizkit's Middle East Return Set for August
American nu-metal band Limp Bizkit is scheduled to perform in Abu Dhabi on 12 August as part of their Loserville Tour, marking their return to the UAE after more than a decade. The concert will take place at the Etihad Arena on Yas Island, a venue known for hosting major international acts. The Loserville Tour, which began earlier this year, has seen the band perform across various cities in North America and Europe. The Abu Dhabi show is part of the tour's expansion into the Middle East, indicating the band's intent to reconnect with their fan base in the region. Limp Bizkit, formed in 1994, gained prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s with hits like 'Break Stuff,' 'Nookie,' and 'Rollin'.' Their fusion of rap and metal elements contributed to the popularity of the nu-metal genre during that period. The band's lineup includes vocalist Fred Durst, guitarist Wes Borland, bassist Sam Rivers, drummer John Otto, and DJ Lethal. The band's last performance in the UAE was in 2011, also in Abu Dhabi. Since then, the region has seen a growing number of international music acts, reflecting its increasing significance on the global concert circuit. The upcoming concert is expected to attract fans from across the Middle East, as well as international visitors. Tickets for the Abu Dhabi show are available through official channels, with options ranging from general admission to VIP packages. Organizers have emphasized the importance of purchasing tickets from authorized sellers to avoid counterfeit tickets. The Etihad Arena, with a seating capacity of up to 18,000, has previously hosted artists such as The Killers, Post Malone, and Andrea Bocelli. Its state-of-the-art facilities and strategic location on Yas Island make it a preferred venue for large-scale events.

Limp Bizkit set to rock Abu Dhabi this summer
The band is finally bringing its neck-breaking anthems to the capital. Abu Dhabi is stepping up its game this year. With a lineup of concerts that already includes Guns n' Roses, Enrique Iglesias, Toto, and Jennifer Lopez, the capital is all set to rock like never before. And now, adding even more fire to this list is Limp Bizkit. Taking place on Tuesday, 12 August, Limp Bizkit will take over Etihad Arena on Yas Island for what's sure to be a head-banging concert. Expect a show packed with nostalgic anthems that are guaranteed to strain your neck muscles. For those unversed, Limp Bizkit was formed in the mid-90s and exploded onto the music scene with its signature blend of rap and rock. Hailing from Florida, America, the band is fronted by Fred Durst and quickly gained massive popularity with tracks like Break Stuff, Rollin', My Way, and the popular cover of Faith by George Michael. Their album Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water sold over a million copies in its first week alone, cementing their place in the Music Hall of Fame. Throughout their career, they've snagged multiple awards and toured the world, wowing fans for years, and now they're making their way to the UAE. Limp Bizkit was originally slated to perform in Dubai back in 2008, but the show never materialized — leaving fans disappointed and craving a chance to see them live. Fast forward to 2025, and the wait is finally over. The band is making a return, and this time, Etihad Arena will be the spot for all the action. So if you're a fan, stretch your neck, crack your back and keep your chiropractor appointments booked. Presale tickets for Limp Bizkit go live on Thursday, 24 April at 12pm, whereas general sales kick off on Friday, 25 April at 12pm. But you'll want to be quick because this one's going to be a sell-out. GO: Visit for more information.

Limp Bizkit to make long-awaited Middle East debut in Abu Dhabi
Limp Bizkit will be rolling into Abu Dhabi this August. The nu-metal titans are set to make their regional debut at Etihad Arena on August 12 as part of their expanding Loserville Tour – an ironic moniker that captures the band's enduring appeal despite no longer being part of the current pop conversation. That self-awareness – hilariously embraced by frontman Fred Durst with his prematurely white beard and knowingly retro stage persona – hasn't dulled the band's explosive live energy. Limp Bizkit still deliver anthems such as Rollin', My Way and Nookie with the same rebellious spirit that beguiled a generation about 30 years ago. Indeed, one of their biggest hits – Break Stuff – turns 25 next month and remains a defining sound of the once-dominant nu-metal genre, led by the riff machine that is guitarist Wes Borland, the deft scratches of turntablist DJ Lethal, and Durst's love-it-or-hate-it yelping raps. Their latest album, 2021's Still Sucks, proves the fire is still there – staying true to their rap-rock roots, especially in swaggering singles such as Dad Vibes. Limp Bizkit's arrival should also soothe the souls of their most enduring regional fans, with the group having cancelled their planned headlining appearance at the inaugural Dubai Desert Rock Festival in 2004. Their long-awaited debut comes only days after Metallica announced their return to Abu Dhabi – performing as part of the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after-race concerts – and ahead of Guns N' Roses' show at Etihad Arena in May, showing that UAE rock fans have plenty to look forward to in the coming months. Pre-sale tickets will be available from the Live Nation website at midday on Thursday, with general sale beginning at the same time on Friday

Limp Bizkit Charts A Brand New Top 10 Hit, With Help From Netflix
Limp Bizkit's 'Rollin'' debuts at No. 10 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart after a sync in ... More Netflix's Devil May Cry reminds people how much they love the tune. UNSPECIFIED - circa 1970: Photo of FESTIVALS and CROWDS and AUDIENCE and LIMP BIZKIT (Photo by Mick Hutson/Redferns) Limp Bizkit is back on the Billboard charts this week, but not with a new release. Instead, the nu metal band sees one of its oldest tracks finally earn a new home more than two decades after it first dropped. 'Rollin'' appears on one Billboard ranking for the first time ever, and it doesn't just show up — it rocks straight into the top 10. Limp Bizkit's 'Rollin'' debuts at No. 10 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart this week. The track narrowly manages to find space on Billboard's list of the bestselling tracks in that one genre, as the tally now features just 10 spaces. Any time a tune arrives, it becomes a top 10 hit, and the rockers add another smash to their list of wins. 'Rollin'' becomes Limp Bizkit's fourth top 10 hit on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart. It's also the group's sixth appearance on the tally overall. While the chart now only features 10 positions, it used to run longer. Prior to this frame, Limp Bizkit had already reached the uppermost tier with 'Break Stuff' (No. 3), 'Dad Vibes' (No. 4), and 'Ready to Go' with Lil Wayne (No. 6). The sudden success of 'Rollin'' can be attributed to Devil May Cry, Netflix's new action-packed animated series. Based on the beloved video game franchise, the show premiered in early April and was quickly renewed for a second season thanks to strong viewership numbers and a warm reception from critics. The series features several hard rock staples, but 'Rollin'' appears to be the clear breakout from the soundtrack. It's the one cut that's gained the most traction across digital platforms, and, seemingly, sold the best. Limp Bizkit's presence on the charts in America this frame isn't limited to just one title. 'Break Stuff,' another fan favorite from the group's heyday, is also growing. This week, it lifts from No. 21 to No. 18 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart. The title has now spent 109 frames on that ranking and previously climbed as high as No. 7. 'Rollin'' was first released in 2000 as a single from Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water. That laughably-titled album turned out to be a huge commercial success, as it reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has already been certified six-times platinum. The song became one of Limp Bizkit's most recognizable anthems, earning massive airplay and becoming a staple of early 2000s rock radio. Now, nearly 25 years later, it's experiencing a second wave of success, with a little help from Netflix.
