Limp Bizkit concert chronology |
The Unicorns N' Rainbows Tour was a concert tour by American rap rock band Limp Bizkit. [1]
It took place mostly in Europe, visiting countries they never visited before, and extended into a short Asian leg as well, as well as one-off special appearance in Las Vegas after a UFC 100 performance was cancelled. [2] Two German dates on the tour, in Hamburg and Dortmund, were supported by rap rock act Hollywood Undead.
The tour marks the reunion of the band's original line-up (Fred Durst, Wes Borland, Sam Rivers, DJ Lethal and John Otto), as well as the release of a new album, the band's first since 2005's The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) . The new album, due to release sometime in 2010, will be followed by an additional promotional tour, this time in North America as well.
