LIMP BIZKIT COMEBACK CALLED OFF - FOR NOW

LIMP BIZKIT's first reunion show has been scrapped over a dispute about the appropriate venue for the show.

The rockers were scheduled to perform at the Mandalay Bay Beach in Las Vegas as part of the UFC 100 concert on 10 July (09), but when frontman Fred Durst questioned filming rights and insisted they switch venues, the gig fell apart.

A statement from the band reads, "Limp Bizkit did not, in any way, cancel the UFC 100 concert in Las Vegas. Truth is UFC and Interscope Records (Limp Bizkit's record label) could not come to an agreement on certain DVD rights.

"With all respect to Mandalay Bay, the UFC were also unhappy with Limp Bizkit's decision of wanting to switch the performance from the Beach at Mandalay Bay with its inappropriate layout for a heavy rock concert with Limp Bizkit, basically a stage in front of a pool, to a more standard concert venue also located at the Mandalay Bay, which was the House Of Blues.

"The UFC expressed they wanted a 'party vibe' for this event and would not settle for any venue besides the Beach for this and other reasons."

The band is still hoping to perform in Las Vegas on 10 July (09) - so fans who have already made travel arrangements won't be disappointed: "We are proud to announce that we will still be performing on the same night out of respect for our fans. The details of when and where will follow shortly."
