Limp Bizkit pull out of Download!

United Kingdom | | 12 May 2003

Due to Limp Bizkit's new album, currently titled 'Panty Sniffer', being delayed and the band's continued recording commitments, they have been forced to pull out of the Download Festival.

Lead singer Fred Durst commented, "Now there will be no more fuckin' around. We are in the vocal stage on the new shit. We will have a single out before the Summer Sanitarium tour and our new album 'Panty Sniffer' will drop, FOR SURE, the first week in September. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow of creativity and we're doing just fucking that. I love you and kiss my ass."

Limp Bizkit will return to the UK in the fall to debut tracks live from their new album, now set for release on September 8th.

The festival's promoter, Clear Channel Entertainment, have said, "While we are disappointed to lose Limp Bizkit on Sunday at Download we still know that fans are up for the first ever full blown multi-day, multi stage rock festival at Donington."

Download Festival takes place 31 May and 1 June at Donington Park. It is all geared-up to be one of the loudest rock festivals the UK has ever seen with the likes of Iron Maiden, Marilyn Manson, Ministry, Murderdolls, Audioslave and Zwan.

Tickets for Download are selling quickly but you can still purchase them online from the Virtual Festivals Ticket Shop
