Anger Management Tour

The Anger Management Tour was a rap and rock music tour, founded and started in the fall of 2000 by Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach and, after the release of The Marshall Mathers LP, Eminem.

The first "Anger Management" outing took place in 2000. The tour began two days after the release of Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water on October 19, 2000. On the first leg Limp Bizkit and Eminem co-headlined with support from D12, Papa Roach and Xzibit. They played through November 21, 2000. Four dates on the first leg were cancelled or rescheduled due to Fred Durst's swollen vocal chords. October 24 and November 3, 15 and 19.

The second leg occurred from November 24 till December 19, 2000 with support from DMX, Godsmack and Sinisstar in tow. Limp Bizkit finished the leg as headliners as it was the only Anger Management tour where Eminem did not finish, and instead, Limp Bizkit headlined over him. In this leg, three further dates were cancelled on November 26 and December 13 and 14. Rapper DMX missed four shows on the tour including a stop on December 17, where there was an issue and had to cancel his performance.

The other acts continued the tour and on December 19, 2000, during the final show at Limp Bizkit's hometown in Jacksonville, Florida, DMX came out to perform an acapella sing-along to one of Limp Bizkit's songs during their set. Finally, at the end of the night, DMX gave a prayer to the audience, saying he will do better for the Lord and himself. During the concert at some point during Limp's set some fans stormed Limp Bizkit's tour bus and took all the band members clothes. Despite this, the tour ended on a high-note for Limp Bizkit, who were leading the charge of the Nu Metal wave at the time and had enjoyed great and tremendous success during this era.

The tour was supported by the acts' then-recent album releases which included Infest by Papa Roach and finally, Xzibit's soon-to-be released major label debut, Restless in December of that year. Both Eminem and Limp Bizkit had album releases they were supporting on this tour that had sold over a million copies in their first week.

Anger Management 2001 took place in Europe with Eminem headlining the first leg in February with support from OutKast, Xzibit and D12. Guest artists like Dr. Dre, Dido and Marilyn Manson appeared at select dates.

Limp Bizkit and Godsmack would finish the second leg during May and June 2001.

Eminem would headline future editions going forward.
