Creed & Limp Bizkit Co-Headline the 3rd Annual Summer of '99 and Beyond Festival
The wait is finally over for late '90s rock fans: Creed and Limp Bizkit will share a festival stage for the first time at the 3rd Annual Summer of '99 and Beyond Festival on July 18-19, 2026. This epic two-day rock reunion takes place at Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, Illinois, just 30 miles southwest of Chicago. This historic pairing finally puts to rest any lingering tension between Fred Durst and Scott Stapp after the frontmen famously exchanged disses at the Dysfunctional Family Picnic concert in New York City during the summer of 2000.
The Summer of '99 and Beyond Festival has evolved from Creed's reunion tours into one of the most anticipated destination rock festivals in the country. The 2026 edition features a stacked lineup of platinum-selling heavyweights and rising rock newcomers performing across two stages: the "Higher" Main Stage and the "Are You Ready" Side Stage. Whether you experienced the late '90s rock explosion firsthand or are discovering these iconic bands for the first time, this festival promises an unforgettable weekend celebrating the era of baggy jeans, TRL, and arena-shaking anthems.
Saturday, July 18: Limp Bizkit Headlines Opening Night
Limp Bizkit takes the top spot on opening night, bringing their legendary nu-metal energy to the "Higher" Main Stage. The band is riding a wave of renewed popularity following their 2025 hit single "Making Love to Morgan Wallen," which topped Billboard's Hot Hard Rock Songs chart. Saturday's support lineup includes hip-hop legends Cypress Hill, heavy rock veterans Sevendust, Canadian metal crushers Kittie, and post-grunge staples Puddle of Mudd. The "Are You Ready" Side Stage features Magnolia Park, The Pretty Wild, Slay Squad, and additional acts still to be announced.
Sunday, July 19: Creed Closes the Festival
Creed closes out the festival in triumphant fashion on the "Higher" Main Stage. Since their 2023 reunion, Creed has experienced a remarkable cultural resurgence, with "Higher" becoming an unofficial anthem for the Texas Rangers' 2023 World Series championship run and appearing in a Paramount+ Super Bowl commercial. Sunday's bill features British rock icons Bush, Wolfgang Van Halen's Mammoth, Seattle grunge survivors Candlebox, and "The Reason" hitmakers Hoobastank. The "Are You Ready" Side Stage on day two welcomes Sleep Theory, Canadian power trio Big Wreck, "The Freshmen" hitmakers The Verve Pipe, and Ashes of Billy.
The Historic Creed vs. Limp Bizkit Reconciliation
The 2026 festival marks a historic moment as Creed and Limp Bizkit share a bill for the first time since 1999. The rivalry began at the KROQ Dysfunctional Family Picnic concert in New York City during summer 2000, when Fred Durst dedicated "Break Stuff" to Scott Stapp from the stage. The bands traded public barbs throughout that year, with the beef becoming one of the most talked-about feuds in rock. Now, 26 years later, these two titans of late '90s rock are putting the past behind them for one of the most anticipated live events of 2026. For fans who lived through the era, this is the ultimate "what if" moment finally becoming reality.
