Limp Bizkit have canceled the remainder of their US tour “out of an abundance of caution and concern for the safety of the band, crew and most of all the fans.”
According to Blabbermouth, frontman Fred Durst told a fan that Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland fell ill prior to the band’s concert in Asbury Park, New Jersey, on Friday. That show was canceled just a couple hours before it was set to begin. Meanwhile, Eddie Trunk, host of SiriusXM’s “Trunk Nation” show, reports that he heard the tour was canceled “due to COVID concerns.”
Ironically, the tour was called the “Limited Last Minute Post Pandemic Popup Party.” Refunds are available at their points of purchase, and all tickets purchased online will be automatically refunded.

The timing of the tour’s postponement is especially unfortunate for Limp Bizkit who find themselves amidst an unexpected career resurgence. The band’s appearance in HBO Max’s Woodstock 99 documentary generated a major amount of social media buzz, as did their performance last weekend at Lollapalooza, where Durst sported a new “dad” look and premiered the band’s new song “Dad Vibes.” In the days since then, the band’s catalog has seen a 30% increase in streaming, according to Billboard.
