Limp Bizkit to perform in South Africa 22 years after canceled concert
Limp Bizkit, the Grammy-nominated nu-metal band, is set to make their long-anticipated debut in South Africa on December 13, 2025. The performance will take place at the renowned FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, marking a significant milestone for both the band and their South African fans. This event comes over two decades after the group was initially slated to tour the country in 2004, a plan that was ultimately canceled.
The announcement of this event has generated substantial excitement among fans, with Ticketmaster confirming through social media that Limp Bizkit will perform at the venue for the first time. Pre-sale tickets for the concert became available on June 10, with a broader public sale scheduled to follow shortly thereafter. This opportunity to witness a live performance is especially poignant for South African fans, who have long awaited the band’s arrival.
Limp Bizkit is comprised of lead vocalist Fred Durst, guitarist Wes Borland, turntablist DJ Lethal, and drummer John Otto. The band’s configuration has shifted over the years, particularly with the passing of founding bassist Sam Rivers in 2025. Despite these changes, Limp Bizkit has remained a significant presence in the music industry, renowned for their unique fusion of rock, metal, and hip-hop.
The band is celebrated for an array of hit songs such as “Nookie,” “Break Stuff,” “Rollin’ (Air Raid Vehicle),” “My Way,” and “Take a Look Around.” Limp Bizkit burst onto the global music scene in the late 1990s, establishing themselves as one of the quintessential acts of the nu-metal genre. Their distinctive sound and energetic performances have captivated audiences worldwide.
Having sold over 40 million records globally, Limp Bizkit has earned multiple accolades, including three Grammy nominations in categories such as Best Rock Album and Best Hard Rock Performance. Their achievements extend beyond nominations, as they have secured prestigious titles including an American Music Award, as well as multiple MTV Video Music Awards and MTV Europe Music Awards.
As the date of the concert approaches, anticipation continues to build, and fans are eager to witness a performance that has been years in the making.
