Nu metal band Limp Bizkit from Florida, US, was formed in 1994 and consists of five members: lead vocalist Fred Durst, drummer John Otto, guitarist Wes Borland, turntablist DJ Lethal and bassist Sam Rivers.
The band’s music is known for Fred’s angry vocal delivery and Wes’s sound experimentation as well as his visual appearance, which includes face and body paint, masks and uniforms. They have been nominated for three Grammy Awards, sold 40 million records internationally and won several awards.
They performed at the historic Halifax venue on Saturday, August 12, 2023 and delivered a great show. The band performed their old and new hits including My Generation, 1999, Rollin’ (Air Raid Vehicle), Hot Dog, Pill Pepper, Take A Look Around, Dad Vibes and Nookie before the anthem Break Stuff.
Frontman, Fred Durst, told the 5,500 sell-out Halifax crowd: “What an incredible vibe right here - this might just be my new favourite spot! You are on fire tonight!”
He even led the crowd in a rendition of “Yorkshire, Yorkshire” before dedicating a cover of The Who’s classic Behind Blue Eyes to the region.
They were supported on the night by Joey Valance and Brae and Kenny Hoopla.
