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.”

lmao, they're this mad about Crimea? The idea of Ukrainian Crimea is laughable. Estonians really do live outside of reality.

The Estonian air is thick with Hitler particles

I'm not even sure if Estonia is a real country.

Incidentally, almost every photo of Estonia looks like a Hitler painting.

Estonia has been occupied by Estonians.

Those who justify [aggressor country's] aggression and the occupation of a neighboring country are not welcome in Estonia

Right? Imagine being a "Crimea is part of Ukraine" guy in 2025.

Huh, I didn't know that about him. A bit too pro-Russia for me, or the Hexbear line (critical support ftw), but anyone that makes important Estonians mad is cool.

Putin did it for the nookie

At the time Baltic Live Agency, tried to minimize the fallout, with its media director, Gunnar Viese, telling ERR, “The only way we can explain it is that at the time [until 2019], Fred Durst was married to a Russian Crimean woman and evidently living in a distorted information bubble.”

He lived with a person who actually lived in Crimea and so got alternative facts that did not fit with the official story. Durst was BRAINWASHED.

:kelly: Durst Owl

Ever notice how Fred's always on tour when UlyssesT deactivates his account to touch grass?

...What I'm saying is that I think Fred Durst might have killed Kissinger

[–] Jabril@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago

I thought they banned Fred posting

Does he like Russia for the funny reason, though? Seems more likely than the critical support reason.

Breaking news, guy that has always been an ass continues to be an ass. More at 11.

And Fred Surat still is and always has been a piece of shit. Be cool if they hadn't been invaded to begin with, though.
