The band was set to play the Unibet Arena in Tallinn on May 31, 2026, but the event’s Facebook page has since been changed to “Canceled.”

But eventually, the show’s promoter, Baltic Live Agency, chose to cancel the gig outright.

Almost immediately after the Tallinn show was announced on Nov. 7, there was swift backlash over Durst’s history of pro-Russia stances. For instance, in 2015, after Russia’s annexation of Crimea, Durst spoke about his desire to obtain a Russian passport, wrote a letter to Crimean authorities calling Vladimir Putin a “great guy with clear moral principles,” and held up a sign on stage that read “Crimea=Russia.”

In response to Limp Bizkit’s Tallinn show, Estonia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Margus Tsahkna, said: “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.”
