Limp Bizkit is een Amerikaanse nu-metal- en rapcoreband uit Jacksonville (Florida). De band heeft wereldwijd al meer dan 50 miljoen albums verkocht.

De huidige bandleden zijn zanger Fred Durst, bassist Sam Rivers, drummer John Otto (Rivers’ neef) en gitarist Wes Borland. De gitarist Wes Borland verliet de band in 2001 nadat de band drie albums had uitgebracht. Hij werd vervangen door Mike Smith, die meewerkte aan het vierde album van de band, Results May Vary. Borland kwam terug in 2004 en werkte mee aan The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1), om vlak daarna in 2005 de band alweer te verlaten. Daarna werkte hij aan verschillende projecten zoals zijn eigen band Black Light Burns, Fear and the Nervous System, Jonathan Davis & the SFA en Marilyn Manson. Op 12 februari 2009 werd op de officiële website van de band bevestigd dat alle vijf originele bandleden weer bij elkaar komen en op wereldtour gaan. In augustus 2009 raakte bekend dat ze bezig waren aan een nieuw studioalbum. Fred Durst heeft op zijn Twitteraccount aangegeven dat Gold Cobra op 7 juni 2011 zou uitkomen, een paar dagen later werd de releasedatum verschoven naar 28 juni 2011. Limp Bizkit was te zien als headliner op de Belgische Graspop Metal Meeting in Dessel op 23 juni 2012.

Limp Bizkit is an American nu metal band from Jacksonville, Florida. Its lineup consists of lead vocalist Fred Durst, drummer John Otto, guitarist Wes Borland, turntablist DJ Lethal and bassist Sam Rivers. The band's musical style is marked by Durst's angry vocal delivery and Borland's sonic experimentation. Borland's elaborate visual appearance, which includes face and body paint, masks, and uniforms, also plays a large role in Limp Bizkit's live shows. The band has been nominated for three Grammy Awards, sold 40 million records worldwide, and won several other awards.

Formed in 1994, Limp Bizkit became popular playing in the Jacksonville underground music scene in the late 1990s, and signed with Flip Records (with distribution from Interscope), who released the band's debut album, Three Dollar Bill, Y'all (1997). The band achieved mainstream success with its second and third studio albums, Significant Other (1999) and Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (2000). However, this success was marred by a series of controversies surrounding its performances at Woodstock '99 and the 2001 Big Day Out festival.

Borland left the group in 2001, but Durst, Rivers, Otto, and Lethal continued to record and tour with guitarist Mike Smith. Following the release of their fourth album Results May Vary (2003), Borland rejoined the band and recorded the EP The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) (2005) with Durst, Rivers, Lethal, and drummer Sammy Siegler before entering a hiatus. In 2009, the band reunited with Borland playing guitar and began touring, culminating with the recording of the album Gold Cobra (2011), after which it left Interscope and later signed with Cash Money Records; DJ Lethal quit the band soon afterward, returning in 2018. After years of teasing an album tentatively titled Stampede of the Disco Elephants, the band released its sixth studio album Still Sucks on October 31, 2021.

The band has released 26 singles, the most notable of which include "Nookie", "Re-Arranged", "Break Stuff", "Take a Look Around", "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)", "My Generation", "My Way", "Eat You Alive", and their cover of The Who's 1971 single "Behind Blue Eyes", all of which have charted within the top 20 of the US Alternative Airplay Chart.
