"My position is clear, and I will repeat it: Russia is the aggressor, and Crimea is occupied by Russia. Those who justify Russia's aggression and the occupation of a neighboring country are not welcome in Estonia. They have no place on Estonian stages and should not be earning income here. Concert and cultural event organizers must also understand this. This has been Estonia's clear stance, and this principle has been followed for several years already. I hope that concert organizers will act accordingly now as well."
"We inform you that due to circumstances beyond the organizer's control, the Limp Bizkit concert planned for May 31, 2026, is canceled. Our apologies!"
"There are great people everywhere. I have met many Russians, in Russia, that are excited to learn more about America."
Limp Bizkit's May 31, 2026 Tallinn concert was canceled following concerns about frontman Fred Durst's past support for Russia and Vladimir Putin. Durst married a Crimean-born Russian in 2012, displayed a "Crimea = Russia" banner at a 2015 show, and was banned from entering Ukraine for five years beginning in 2015. Durst divorced in 2019 and previously praised Russians and Vladimir Putin, fueling the reaction. A concert promoter cited circumstances beyond the organizer's control for the cancellation. Estonia affirmed that Russia is the aggressor and that those who justify the occupation should not perform or earn income in Estonia.
