Limp Bizkit pull the biggest crowd of the day at Reading Festival and, to the surprise of no one, absolutely smash it

Fred Durst and Wes Borland on stage.

For 25 years, Limp Bizkit have been turning up at UK festivals, looking slightly greyer each time they come back, dressing just that little bit sillier each time they walk on stage, playing a near-identical set every time and always bringing home the same result: fucking bedlam and the best time you’ll have all weekend. Chalk another one up for Reading 2025, then.

Entering to Oasis’ Roll with It, with an AI'd meme of the Gallagher brothers smiling on the screens behind them (the first of many hilarious images that appear, including a smiling Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Justin Bieber and Travis Scott and a grumpy looking Dave Mustaine), that simple but crowd-detonating riff to Break Stuff gets us started.
