Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst has teased a potential run for political office in a video posted on Instagram through a new account called ‘votedurst’, drawing support from fans and fellow musicians. The announcement was made on Instagram.
Durst shared a brief message in the video about his apparent political ambitions. The post sparked reactions from the rock community, including a notable endorsement from an unexpected source.
“Well, just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse, it’s time to vote Durst,” Durst said. “I want to get to the bottom of all this bullshit. I’m running.”
Ex-Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson responded with enthusiasm to the announcement. “Durst for president?!?! Serious?! Do it!!!!!!!!” Wilson wrote on the post.
The message appeared to resonate with Bizkit fans who engaged with the content on the platform.
The timing of the announcement comes as Limp Bizkit continues an active period in their career. The band kicked off their 2026 touring cycle in Poland with a headline performance at Impact Festival in Kraków, with Fred Durst and Wes Borland debuting fresh looks for the new touring cycle. They are confirmed to headline Good Things Festival in early December 2026, returning to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
The band has been working on new material as well. Limp Bizkit released a new single in 2025 called “Making Love to Morgan Wallen,” marking their first fresh material in four years. Durst also collaborated with musician MGK on a single called “Fix Ur Face” released in April 2026. In August 2026, the band was spotted in the studio with Fred Durst, Wes Borland, DJ Lethal and John Otto pictured with Nashville-based producer Benjamin Grizzell, with guitarist Wes Borland stating that Limp Bizkit plans to work on more new music in 2026 as they book studio time between travel.
The band has undergone significant change in recent years. Limp Bizkit continues to grieve the 2025 death of bassist and founding member Sam Rivers. Since returning to the road after Rivers’ passing, Limp Bizkit has been touring with new bassist Richie Buxton, who also plays with artist Ecca Vandal.
