"Hmmm, worst booking ever?"

Limp Bizkit, 2019.

Limp Bizkit are all sorts of fun live. Gets a thumbs up from me. I reckon they'd draw a huge crowd as well. A LOT of people in their mid 20s to early 30s were swept up by the whole nu metal genre and I reckon a lot of people who don't normally go to metal shows/festivals would jump at the chance to see them.

The real answers if they want a 'metal slot' are Mastodon, Gojira, Lamb of God etc., but it's never going to happen unless they make an effort to book much more metal throughout the lineup. If they want a novelty metal slot, which this intends to be, they need acts that are recognisable but can't be too big, so LB are a perfect choice.

Much preferable to if it actually turns out to be Bastille in the rock slot!!! That interview posted elsewhere certainly makes it sound like it goes Bastille - Lauryn Hill - Stormzy.....but, surely not???

I can't think of anything to say about a potential Limp Bizkit booking that isn't profanity laden invective, which is probably appropriate but certainly not the sort of thing we should be encouraging.

Limp Bizkit would be amazing. Yes please.

Someone should do a poll

Q.  Is Fred Durst a massive headed, short trouser wearing, screechy voiced bellend?

-Yes

-Yes Yes Yes

[fatyeti24]

Dammit.  I tried so hard as well.

Not a fan of their classic album (it says here) Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water?

It was hugely influential in my formative years.  I'd only be half the c**t I am without it.

That's 3 x Fred Durst, 1 x Tim Westwood and someone who's walked into the wrong photoshoot altogether.

Genuinely no ideal what the deal is with that voodoo skellington c**t. Has he got a lace doilly on his shoulder?

It's Wes Borland - sometime member of Limp Bizkit.

He totally fell off the rails once the Scotch Tape commercials dried up. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

And the doilly?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Is he in disguise so that people don't roast him for being in Limp Bizkit? I'm not sure it's worked. If anything he's actually drawn attention to himself.

What time is this 'metal slot' then? Is it gonna ruin any hopes of a decent spot for Idles at 6.00?

[Padjeq]

 By the looks of things, absolutely not.
