C'mon! Here's how to watch Limp Bizkit at Reading and Leeds festival - from anywhere in the world

Edit: Currently Limp Bizkit's set isn't being streamed live on BBC iPlayer. We're holidng out for some highlights later.

Limp Bizkit make their triumphant return to Reading and Leeds this weekend, with the band set to break stuff at Reading on Saturday and Leeds the following day. They're enjoying somewhat of a resurgence right now, having just spend some time on the road with enormo-metallers Metallica, and will perform just prior to Bring Me The Horizon's headline set (find out how to watch BMTH here).

If you can't make it to the weekend festival, we have faith that there will be an opportunity to watch Fred Durst, Wes Borland, John Otto, Sam Rivers and DJ Lethal do their nu-metal thang on the BBC iPlayer. Currently, the BBC is streaming a selection of entire sets live, plus highlights from around the site (including Chappell Roan's epic set from the Friday night), so we're holding out hope for some Bizkit action today.

If you’re going to be out of the country this weekend grabbing some summer sun, you’ll can still stream iPlayer through a VPN.

For Bizkit fans at the Leeds site, the band will play on Sunday 24th 7.25pm BST / 2.25pm ET.

Have Limp Bizkit played Reading & Leeds before?

Yes they have! Take a look around and you'll see that Limp Bizkit made their Reading and Leeds debut all the way back in 1997 when they played on the Lock Up Stage in support of their raw, Ross Robinson-produced debut album Three Dollar Bill, Y'all.

They returned to the UK festival in 2000 when they were touring their massive Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water album which was released the same year.

They returned again in 2010, with their last appearance coming in 2015 during the band's summer tour. So this will be their 5th time at the festival and one of their highest billings to date.

Limp Bizkit's 2025 plans

Following their Reading and Leeds appearance, Limp Bizkit have a handful of live dates planned for the remainder of 2025, with their next show taking place in Mexico City on November 29.

While there are no specifics as yet, various members of Limp Bizkit have confirmed they are writing and recording for a forthcoming album. As to whether it will see the light of day before 2026 remains to be seen.
