American rock band Limp Bizkit will headline the ETPFEST (Eerie Taiji People Festival) 2009 rock festival organized by Korean rock star Seo Tai-ji next month.
Limp Bizkit will perform alongside British group Keane and American rocker Nine Inch Nails on Aug. 15 at the Main Stadium, Jamsil Sports Complex, southern Seoul.
But Yonhap News quoted Seo's company as saying that the rock star has not yet decided whether to perform this year.
Limp Bizkit has recently reunited for a comeback tour and are working on a new album ``The Unquestionable Truth (Part 2).'' The band ― made up of vocalist Fred Durst, bassist Sam Rivers, drummer John Otto, DJ Lethal and guitarist Wes Borland ― has sold 60 million albums around the world.
Keane is known for its piano rock sound. Their albums ``Hopes and Fears'' and ``Under the Iron Sea'' have garnered critical praise and sold millions of records around the world.
Nine Inch Nails is a one-man band led by singer, songwriter, producer and instrumentalist Trent Reznor. Reznor has recently indicated that Nine Inch Nails may be on its last run of shows this year. At last month's Bonnaroo Music and Art Festival in Manchester, Tenn., he said it was the last show he would do as Nine Inch Nails in the United States.
Seo's ETPFEST is one of the biggest summer rock festivals in Seoul. Last year's ETPFEST featured performances by Seo, Marilyn Manson, Death Cab for Cutie, Dragon Ash, Epik High and Clazziquai Project
Tickets for the whole day event are 198,000 won, although they are being sold at a discounted price through Aug. 10 on ticket.interpark.com.
