Limp Bizkit will no longer be taking the stage for the "Limited Last Minute Post Pandemic Popup Party."

On Monday, the band announced that it would be postponing its tour dates for August, following the kickoff performance at Lollapalooza last week.

"Out of an abundance of caution and concern for the safety of the band, crew and most of all the fans, the Limp Bizkit show this Monday and the remaining August tour is being canceled," the band said in a statement released by The Rapids Theater in Niagara Falls. "Refunds are available at their points of purchase. All tickets purchased online will be automatically refunded."

The cancellation impacts the remainder of the tour's dates, which was supposed to continue Monday at the Rapids Theater and end on Aug. 24 in Los Angeles, California.

Frontman Fred Durst gave an additional statement to Billboard, saying, "In short, the system is still very flawed. Even if the performers, crews, staff, and promoters do their best to ensure safety on and behind the stage, that doesn't ensure the safety of the audience as a whole."

He adds. "We are all in this together, and we all -- individually and as a whole -- have to make our best efforts to be as responsible and proactive as possible moving forward to combat and stop spreading COVID."

On Friday, the band's show at Asbury Park, New Jersey's Stone Pony Summer Stage was postponed hours before Limp Bizkit was set to perform, according to Rolling Stone.

While some fans speculated that guitarist Wes Borland had tested positive for COVID-19, Durst shut down the rumors on his Instagram Story.

"Let us be clear: 1. Wes Borland does not have Covid. 2. The system is seriously flawed," Durst wrote. "3. We don't care much about the BS… We care a lot about you… Dad vibes coming soon."

Borland also denied he had COVID on his own Instagram Story.

"I'm not sick… No seriously. No matter what you've read, I don't have Covid," he said. "I'm fine. Thanks."
