![]() (The band recalled events differently, as do several interviewees in the new documentary. The 1990s self-proclaimed rap-rock band was set to perform at The NorVa in Norfolk Monday as part of its Limited Last Minute Post Pandemic Popup Party. At the 1999 festival, which took place at the height of Limp Bizkit's popularity, they performed an inflammatory Saturday set - one that the festival's co-founders, John Scher and Michael Lang, subsequently blamed for setting the tone that led to the rampant destruction of property and physical assault (particularly against women) that consumed the festival the following night. In addition, the band served as the subject of much media discussion in the week leading up to the performance, thanks to the Woodstock 99: Peace, Love & Rage documentary that had debuted as part of HBO's Music Box series the weekend before (July 23). At the end of the festival, the band also debuted a new song, appropriately titled "Dad Vibes." Limp Bizkit drew wide attention for their Lollapalooza gig in large part due to the unlikeliness of the booking - with the band being 20 years removed from their commercial heyday, and often used as a punchline for critics in the years since. Leader Fred Durst also went viral due to his recent rebranding (debuted earlier in the week on social media), with the formerly fratty-dressed frontman appearing in more grown attire, and now with entirely grey hair. ![]()
