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.

The most dangerous times to drive in Australia this long weekend – plus where our safest drivers live
We're less than 24 hours out from Anzac Day, and if you haven't already mentally checked out, you'll have three fabulous days to do so this long weekend. Many Aussies have already hit the road for their autumn getaways, but traffic is set to amp up even more in the coming days. If you're keen to dodge the crowds and stay safe, we've got the lowdown on the best times to avoid driving. And if you're road-tripping to another state, we've also got insights on the spots where you'll be cruising alongside Australia's safest drivers. Ahead of the long weekend, Aussie car insurance provider Rollin' analysed more than 18 million kilometres of driving data from its Safe 'n Save app. The app rates the safety of drivers by measuring factors, like speed, acceleration, braking, cornering and phone use – and the results revealed some clear danger zones. It doesn't really come as a surprise, but Fridays between 5pm and 6pm are the most dangerous time to hit the roads in Australia. On weekends, the danger shifts to midday, with a spike in incidents on Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm and 2pm. South Australia takes the crown for having the safest drivers in Australia, and it's also the state where drivers are least likely to use their phones behind the wheel. If you're keen to road trip in the company of the country's safest drivers, you can cruise down the spectacular Explorers Way from Adelaide to Alice Springs, or the Epicurean Way from McLaren Vale to Clare Valley. Queensland ranks as the second-safest for drivers in Australia – and it just so happens to be packed with incredible road trips too. Take the breezy Pacific Coast Drive from Brisbane to Sydney, or the tropical Great Barrier Reef Drive from Cairns to Cape Tribulation.

A vandal dealt a sad blow to L.A.'s urban trees. Budget woes could bring another
Good morning. Here's what you need to know to start your day. The Los Angeles Police Department arrested a man on Tuesday who was captured on surveillance footage using a chainsaw to chop down multiple trees in Downtown L.A. over the weekend. Photos of downed trees circulated on Reddit and other social media sites as users expressed a mix of anger and grief. One poster dubbed the perpetrator a 'tree serial killer' as others called for justice in response to an act of 'eco terrorism.' The suspect cut down six mature trees in the city's historic district. Leaders of the Downtown Los Angeles Residents Assn. called the vandal's actions 'a violent, demoralizing, and illegal act that threatens residents' real and perceived safety in DTLA.' The group is demanding that city leaders replace the trees and hold the perpetrator accountable. Urban trees are already struggling The loss of mature urban trees comes as the city strives to plant more of them — especially in South L.A. and other communities that have historically lacked beneficial trees. L.A. leaders previously set a goal to increase the urban tree canopy by 50% 'in areas of greatest need' by 2028. A strong tree canopy provides residents much-needed shade, mitigates the impacts of heat and cleans the air, among other perks. One UCLA study found that shade can reduce heat stress in the human body by 25% to 30% during the day. In another study, researchers found that the presence of three trees can lower the chance of health-related deaths by 1%. And a recent study from USC found that L.A. trees and other plants capture more CO2 than researchers expected. L.A.'s budget crisis could affect the future of L.A. trees Just like the unfortunate downtown trees, L.A.'s next annual budget also faces a chainsaw, which could hamper the city's effort to boost its urban forest. Mayor Karen Bass published her spending proposal, which includes cuts to departments and more than 1,600 layoffs as the city braces for a nearly $1-billion budget deficit. Tree-related programs and personnel are on the chopping block. According to Bass' proposed budget (the City Council has until the end of May to amend and approve it): Officials from the mayor's office did not respond to a request for comment. The fate of L.A. tree planting is further imperiled by federal funding cuts orchestrated by Elon Musk and his team, which he calls the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. LAist reported last month that thousands of trees might go unplanted locally after DOGE pulled grant money allocated to nonprofits. Southeast Asians in the L.A. region are being detained and deported at routine ICE check-ins Trump named Gibson, Stallone and Voight as 'special ambassadors.'

L.A.'s Rollin' 60s Crips: The rise of a notorious gang and its reputed boss 'Big U.' The Rollin' 60s Neighborhood Crips have a reputation for violence, sometimes even against fellow members. But that hasn't stopped them from growing into one of the largest and most notorious street gangs in the city, if not the country.

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.
