Just a few months since unleashing their sixth studio album, Gold Cobra, which has artwork that came close to being worse than Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, Limp Bizkit have announced they’ll be touring the world. And according to frontman Fred Durst, Australia is on their hit list.
As reported by FasterLouder, Durst jumped on his twitter earlier today and tweeted to fans

Bizkit last toured Australia infamously in 2001 when they pulled out of Big Day Out halfway through the tour. Despite rumours in 2009 that the band might be playing the Big Day Out 2010 a statement issued by promoter Vivian Lees to Melbourne’s Herald Sun left no questions saying “Limp Bizkit will definitely not be performing on the January 2010 Big Day Out series, or any other Big Day Out shows anywhere, ever.”
The band were also rumoured to have been the unannounced band that pulled out of Soundwave Revolution this year causing the festival to collapse, although Durst later defended the band tweeting “Hello my Australian people! Little FYI for you- we were never on the bill to play any festival down under. So, looks like VH cancels and we get thrown in the mix, classic.”
No word yet on what cities or venues the band will be playing in.
