Fred Durst and co to play Brixton gig ahead of Reading and Leeds appearance

Limp Bizkit have announced a headline show at London’s Brixton Academy on August 27.

The gig comes the day before they head to the Reading and Leeds festivals, and it’s part of a wider tour that kicks of in Hungary on August 16.

Earlier this year frontman Fred Durst reported he’d begun tracking vocals for the follow-up to 2011’s Gold Cobra – news that took guitarist Wes Borland by surprise.

He told TeamRock: “That’s news to me. Oh boy! I’ve recorded 25 songs so I don’t know which ones he’s working on. I’m excited to see what it sounds like.”

London support acts will be announced in due course. Tickets go on sale on June 26 (Friday) from 10am via Ticketmaster (opens in new tab) and See Tickets (opens in new tab).
