Even its lead singer, noted film director Fred Durst, realizes no one likes them anymore.

So the day before the show, Dayton police tweeted a desperate and fairly unequivocal warning to potential attendees.

Police are now on the scene of an OH servo to make sure that hundreds of Limp Bizkit fans don’t Break Stuff once they realise that the “surprise” show advertised there is nothing but an internet hoax. Both Durst and the band took to Twitter to lay waste to the rumor too, calling it a lie and “TOTAL BS” in angry all caps before (presumably) violently breaking everything within reach.
If you absolutely need to see a Limp Bizkit show, your next opportunity will be at the Teatro Caupolican in Santiago, Chile on May 20 during the band’s week-long South American tour. With false flyers and set lists cropping up, tickets and claims that the event was sponsored by Monster Energy Drinks started to appear.
#LATEST: Dayton police had to return to site of fake Limp Bizkit concert to clear the site.
“I have never laughed so hard like I have these last two days, yet understood so little about why it’s amusing in the first place”.
The last word, though, should go to the band at the centre of it all: “Props to the posers who got everyone going”, they tweeted. He told whio.com that people had been driving past the Sunoco singing Limp Bizkit lyrics from their auto windows.

According to the latest reports from local news outlet Whio, around 150 people still remain outside the Sunco gas station chanting “We want Fred!” because they still have faith (faith faith) that the gig isn’t total BS (it is).
