Fred Durst Smashes Drone Mid-Concert in Istanbul
When you think of Limp Bizkit, you probably think of chaos, energy, and a frontman who’s never been afraid to stir things up. Well, Fred Durst just added another wild story to his long list of unforgettable moments. During the band’s much-anticipated return to Istanbul after a 14-year break, the 55-year-old nu-metal icon didn’t just perform his classics — he literally knocked a drone out of the air with his microphone.
Here’s what went down. Limp Bizkit was tearing through their set at the Atakoy Marina Arena, performing fan favorites like “My Way,” “Nookie,” and of course, “Break Stuff.” The crowd was already electric, singing along to every word. Then, in the middle of their 2000 hit “Take a Look Around,” a drone suddenly hovered near the stage. Clearly, someone in the audience thought it’d be clever to sneak in some up-close footage. But what happened next is pure Fred Durst.

He noticed the drone, locked eyes with it, and started motioning for it to come closer, almost like he was baiting it. The crowd watched in suspense as the buzzing machine floated right within his reach. And then—boom. With one swift swing of his microphone, Durst smacked the drone straight out of the air. Fans erupted in cheers as security scooped up the wreckage, reportedly tossing it out into the audience. For a moment, it felt like the band’s biggest anthem had come to life: when Fred says he’s ready to “break stuff,” he means anything, even robots.
And while that drone attack stole headlines, the show itself was equally memorable. At one point, Durst even invited a fan on stage to perform “Full Nelson” with him, creating an intimate connection in the middle of the chaos. He also paused to deliver a heartfelt message, saying that people once told them they might never play in Istanbul again — but there they were. “I love Istanbul. The people and the food are amazing,” he told the crowd, drawing massive applause.
The performance lasted about ninety minutes, blending nostalgia with raw energy. Limp Bizkit reminded fans why they became one of the most recognizable names in nu-metal back in the late ’90s and early 2000s. And of course, Fred Durst reminded everyone that he’s still the unpredictable force he’s always been.
With rumors swirling about new music and an upcoming tour across South America later this year, the band is showing no signs of slowing down. But for fans in Istanbul, the night will be remembered not just for the music, but for the moment when Fred Durst turned a high-tech drone into scrap metal with nothing more than his trusty microphone and his trademark fury.
