Promoter Cancels Limp Bizkit’s Tallinn Concert After Estonia Officials Decry Pro‑Russia Supporters

Baltic Live Agency cited “circumstances beyond the organizer’s control” after renewed attention to Fred Durst’s 2015 pro-Putin remarks.

Overview

  • The May 31, 2026 show at Tallinn’s Unibet Arena was first postponed, then canceled by Baltic Live Agency, with listings and ticketing removed.
  • Estonia’s foreign minister said people who justify Russia’s aggression are not welcome in the country or on its stages.
  • The Ministry of Culture contacted organizers, calling it unacceptable for performers to support a state whose president faces an international arrest warrant.
  • Durst previously held a “Crimea=Russia” sign in 2015 and praised Vladimir Putin, actions that led to a five-year ban from entering Ukraine.
  • Reports link the outcry over those past statements to the cancellation, though no party has explicitly stated they were the direct legal cause.
