According to ERR, Limp Bizkit’s May 31 show in Estonia has been cancelled. The show was scrapped due to frontman Fred Durst’s past support for Russia.
An initial statement said the following:
“We inform you that due to circumstances beyond the organizer’s control, the Limp Bizkit concert planned for May 31, 2026, is canceled. Our apologies!”
Brita Kikkas, a ministry media advisor for Estonia, has since commented further as well:
“Estonia supports Ukraine’s territorial integrity and the principle that every last centimeter of Ukrainian territory belongs to Ukraine.”
She also added:
“My position is clear, and I will repeat it: Russia is the aggressor, and Crimea is occupied by Russia. Those who justify Russia’s aggression and the occupation of a neighboring country are not welcome in Estonia. They have no place on Estonian stages and should not be earning income here.”
Back in 2012, after Durst married his ex-wife Kseniya Beryazina, a Crimean-born Russian makeup artist, he started spending more time in the region. He also praised Russia’s annexation of Crimea and even referred to Vladimir Putin as “a great guy with clear moral principles” He also considered the possibility of buying a house in Crimea.
In 2015, Limp Bizkit were also banned from Ukraine for five years after holding up “CRIMEA = RUSSIA” flag during a live show. After Durst divorced Beryazina in 2018, his comments on Russia slowed down. However, in 2024, he posted on the Russian social media platform VKontakte, saying he misses his Russian fans and that he hopes to see them again.
