Hole pulls out of Soundwave festival after learning they were opening for Limp Bizkit

by Tyler Munro

A year or two ago Limp Bizkit cancelled a bunch of tour dates because they felt they weren’t an “amphitheatre” band (or, more likely because they couldn’t sell enough tickets), but some news came out today that tells us they’re still bigger than Courtney Love’s Hole—her band, I mean—who reportedly dropped off recent dates in Australia after finding out she’d be opening for Fred Durst & co.

Originally scheduled to join the Soundwave Festival this February, Love tweeted at the festival’s promoter, AJ Maddah, writing, “What bloody flight of crazed fancy made you think we’d open for Limp Bizkit dude? No offense, that’s nuts.”

“Like we were going to ask her permission every time we book a band. No point taking her back, only for her to cancel later, or turn up and act like a rotten twat to other artists and fans. I am really mad about this. I was given so many assurances that this would not happen when I took the booking,” responded Maddah. [via NME]
