A Limp Bizkit concert that was reportedly scheduled for a venue in Estonia next year has been canceled due to lead singer Fred Durst’s past comments regarding Russia and President Vladimir Putin.
According to multiple reports, Limp Bizkit’s show on May 31, 2026, at Unibet Arena in Tallinn, Estonia is no longer taking place. A Facebook event for the concert indicates the cancellation, and it is no longer listed on the promoter’s or the venue’s websites.
“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,” a comment from concert promoter Baltic Live Agency states on the Facebook event listing.
Tickets were expected to go on sale on November 17.
Who Made The Call to Cancel Limp Bizkit’s Estonia Concert?
While Baltic Live Agency was responsible for announcing the cancellation on Facebook, it is not immediately clear who requested the show be removed from the venue’s schedule.
According to Estonian news agency ERR, the country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs opposed Limp Bizkit’s concert when it was first announced on November 7. The ministry made it clear that “there is no place in Estonia for a supporter of an aggressor state.”

“Estonia supports Ukraine’s territorial integrity and the principle that every last centimeter of Ukrainian territory belongs to Ukraine,” a ministry media advisor told ERR.
The ministry has not responded to a request for comment regarding the cancellation of the Limp Bizkit concert.
Fred Durst Was Previously Banned From Ukraine
In 2015, Durst was banned from entering Ukraine by the country’s government after he expressed interest in moving to Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014.
Durst stated during a 2015 radio interview that he would like to obtain Russian citizenship and eventually purchase a house there. He also mentioned his desire to create films about the country.
“How Russia is portrayed in the media is far from reality, and I want to prove to everyone that it’s really cool!” Durst was quoted as saying during the radio interview. The Russian government celebrated Durst’s comments on social media.
According to Radio Free Europe, Durst later sent a letter to Crimean authorities praising Putin.
“I am sure that we can do many important things together and it will help Russia, and it will help people all around the world to understand that Putin is a great guy with clear moral principles and a nice person,” Durst’s letter reportedly said.
Durst Previously Married to Woman Born in Crimea
Durst married his third wife, Kseniya Beryazina, a Crimean-born makeup artist in 2012, two years before the region was annexed by Russia. According to TMZ, they separated in 2018 with Durst later filing for divorce.
Their divorce was finalized in 2019. Durst married for a fourth time in 2022.
Limp Bizkit has not mentioned the Estonia concert cancellation on their website or social media. They are next scheduled to perform on November 29 in Mexico City.
A complete list of tour dates for the remainder of 2025 is available on the band’s website.
