US EditionLimp Bizkit's Tallinn Concert Cancelled
Concert canceled due to backlash over Fred Durst's pro-Russian comments, with Estonia opposing supporters of aggressor states, officials said.
- Baltic Live Agency canceled the Limp Bizkit concert in Tallinn in May 2026 and removed the Facebook event after Durst's pro-Russian remarks resurfaced.
- Following the November 7 announcement, Durst's past praise for Vladimir Putin and Crimea-related displays resurfaced after he wrote on VKontakte in 2024 that he missed Russian fans and was married to Crimean-born Kseniya Beryazina until 2019.
- Past regional shows and a 2015 ban frame the current backlash, as Ukraine banned Limp Bizkit in 2015 and about 2,500 attended a Lithuania show in a 20,000‑seat stadium.
- Brita Kikkas, ministry media adviser, said `Estonia supports Ukraine's territorial integrity and the principle that every last centimeter of Ukrainian territory belongs to Ukraine`, while ticket pre‑sale scheduled for Monday was postponed amid the backlash.
- Baltic Live Agency said it knew of Durst's views in its November 7 release, while Gunnar Viese linked his stance to his marriage to Crimean-born Kseniya Beryazina; the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not commented further this week.
