A newly created social media account named @votedurst shared a video of Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst declaring, “I’m running,” teasing a potential campaign for political office without specifying a position, election or year, Lambgoat reported.
In the brief video, Durst sits in a public area and states, “Well, just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse, it’s time to vote Durst. I want to get to the bottom of all this bullshit. I’m running.”
No Office or Election Specified
Durst has not confirmed filing paperwork to seek public office, nor has he indicated which position he may be eyeing, according to Lambgoat. The PRP noted the announcement recalls Kid Rock’s Senate run publicity stunt, and whether the post represents a legitimate campaign or ties into new music remains to be seen.
Limp Bizkit Tour Dates Proceed as Planned
Meanwhile, Limp Bizkit are working on a new studio album and have scheduled December performances in Australia, Malaysia and South Africa, Lambgoat reported. The band plays Flemington Racecourse on December 4, Sydney Olympic Park on December 5 and Brisbane Showgrounds on December 6, followed by Kuala Lumpur’s National Hockey Stadium on December 9 and Johannesburg’s FNB Stadium on December 13. They are also scheduled to support Metallica on North American dates in 2027, including Vancouver’s BC Place on May 8 and Cleveland’s Huntington Bank Field on June 15.
