Limp Bizkit Postpone Summer Tour
The bulk of Limp Bizkit‘s planned summer tour has been postponed to the fall. Band frontman Fred Durst has said that the postponement comes as a result of politics with promoters and will allow the band to play in “more cities” in “appropriate venues.” More details are expected shortly.

Apparently the Demand for the Bizkit with Redman/Method Man was not enough to fill up the booked venues, too bad so sad.
There’s a lot missing from the story, but the band wasn’t happy about playing ampitheaters with seats and more floor. They need to handle management better. I mean official website not up yet, release a damn single already and then the album. Originally Fred said early Feb. Now it looks like they won’t really tour US till November cause they are going all over the world from August through October.
Fred thinks just the name Limp Bizkit alone will get the asses into the venue, but he’s gotta realize that they gotta hype themselves first. I mean, how long has Fred been involved in the music business, and he doesn’t know any of this? Come on…
From previous posts on ThePRP they’re looking to book stadiums….. which seems like it’d be a hell of a lot easier to do in the summer time when the NBA / NHL are in the off-season.
i know the july 3rd pnc show in nj was basically sold out. they’ll def do arenas, but there’s no guarantee they can sell those out.
How are they gonna fill these kind of venues? are there really that many alienated teens out there these days still? I know that LB is a huge band but what are they thinking trying to tour ampitheaters? Ozzfest tours ampitheaters and they dont even sell out most of the time and ozzfest is a goddamn whole lot better than Limp bizkit singing “faith” and “nookie” I dont know why they made such a bold move LB is not a headliner type band in other words there not “korn” or “metallica” they want to be, but there not, My dream show for this summer even though its not gonna happen would be seeing 311, korn, deftones, and some new bands go out on tour, Mixing that 90s hard rock/alternative funk…
Heh heh. Awesome. Let’s start a pool on when the “tour cancelled” post will surface…
I hope they break up before their album comes out.
I believe this is code for “Wes pissed me off again, and I dont want to play in a band with him anymore.” As much of a guilty pleasure as they are, this band needs to stop.
I got a good one: what will happen first? the death of another rock icon, or the death of Limp Bizkit’s comeback?
I hope for the second one…since that one is actually necessary.
