Release Athens 2026<\/strong> welcomes Limp Bizkit<\/strong> on Monday June 15th<\/sup><\/strong>, at Plateia Nerou<\/strong>. After decades of anticipation, the legendary band \u2014 a key pillar of the nu-metal explosion and one of the most successful acts in the history of the scene \u2014 is coming for the first time to Greece<\/strong>, with one of the most talked about shows of recent years.<\/p>\n

More acts to be announced soon!<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the late 1990s, few bands could combine the groove of hip-hop and funk with the raw energy of hard rock and heavy metal as successfully as Limp Bizkit<\/strong>. Led by the charismatic Fred Durst, Limp Bizkit were one of those bands, leaving their mark on the sound of an entire generation.<\/p>\n

The albums \u201cSignificant Other\u201d (1999) and \u201cChocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavoured Water\u201d (2000) defined their career, while anthems such as “Counterfeit”, “Nookie”, “Break Stuff”, “Rollin’ (Air Raid Vehicle)”, “Re-Arranged”, “My Generation”, “My Way” and their cover of The Who’s “Behind Blue Eyes” dominated the airwaves and remain landmarks of the nu-metal era.<\/p>\n

Since the mid-2000s, Limp Bizkit have been on a rollercoaster journey filled with twists and turns: hiatuses and reunions, new albums, a string of legendary shows (including their iconic 2021 Lollapalooza performance), and explosive tours across Europe and America in recent years \u2014 proving not only that their energy remains undiminished, but also that their already massive fanbase continues to grow with new devoted followers around the world.<\/p>\n

Sadly, on October 18, 2025, just before the next leg of their world tour, bassist Sam Rivers<\/strong> -founding member and heartbeat of the group- passed away, leaving behind an immense void but also an invaluable legacy.<\/p>\n

In honor of his memory, Fred Durst, John Otto, Wes Borland,<\/strong> and DJ Lethal<\/strong> have chosen to continue their journey with the same drive and passion that defined them. After all, his musical imprint lives on in every note and every performance.<\/p>\n

On June 15th<\/sup>, we will have the chance to see a band that marked an entire era take the stage at Plateia Nerou. Get ready for an explosive show, an experience that promises to make history.<\/p>\n
