Limp Bizkit, Eminem, Papa Roach Unveil Tour Dates

East Rutherford, New Jersey... you have been warned.

Limp Bizkit, Eminem, Papa Roach, and Xzibit have tapped East Rutherford's Continental Airlines Arena as the launching pad for their "Anger Management Tour." Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst called in to MTV's "Total Request Live" on Monday to announce the first batch of dates for the outing, which kicks off on October 19.

While unveiling the dates, Durst also confirmed that Eminem, Papa Roach, and Xzibit are confirmed for the trek. DMX is expected to join up for select dates later in the tour.

Limp will use the outing to introduce fans to the new sounds on "Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water," and the band may be aided in that effort directly by tourmates Xzibit and DMX.

"We have a track on the record with me and Xzibit -- 'Lethal Made The Beat.' It's hot, man. It's West Coast," Durst told MTV News of his work with the rapper. "Then we have a track on the record that Swizz Beatz produced that's me, DMX, Method Man, and Redman, and it's hard, man. It's really East Coast. It has that vibe, and it's really an assault."

    Limp Bizkit To Give Fans The Willy Wonka Treatment

    Playing off of the "Chocolate Starfish" in the title of their upcoming album, the men of Limp Bizkit are planning to get all Willy Wonka with their fans.

    According to its official Web site, the group is randomly inserting gold autographed CDs and laminates into the first pressing of its new album "Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water," which is due on October 17. Fans who find "golden tickets" in their copies of the album could win a Paul Reed Smith guitar or a Remo drumhead autographed by the band, while other lucky winners will snag lifetime backstage passes.

    Limp devotees can get more info (or enter to win before the album hits stores) at limpbizkit.com.

    Of course, not everyone can win, so the rest of Limp's fans will have to content themselves with the new album as well as the band's upcoming tour with Eminem, Papa Roach, and Xzibit. That trek gets rolling on October 19.
