The Kid LAROI, Fred Durst Appear In 'Y2K' Horror Film

Australian rapper and singer The Kid LAROI appears in a movie trailer for a horror film called Y2K alongside Fred Durst. That’s right, the singer of Limp Bizkit. Let’s get Rollin’, shall we?

Y2K, set for release in early December, stars Rachel Zegler (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes), Jaeden Martell (It), Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2), and Alicia Silverstone (Clueless).

The Kid LAROI and Durst star in the trailer for the film, which just dropped this week (20 August). The trailer finds Zegler and Martell trying to connect at a New Year’s Eve party on, of course, 31 December 1999. In a full-blown scare, Y2K fires up as machines rise and take over. Chumbawumba’s Tubthumping soundtracks the trailer.

Fred Durst reprises the 1999 version of himself for Y2K, where he sports a red cap and performs. The Kid LAROI, meanwhile, is set to portray a jock character who throws the party that goes wrong.

The STAY singer wrote on his Instagram Stories after the trailer aired (per NME), “Had so much filming this! Best group of people & the movie is hilariousssss”.

Saturday Night Live alum Kyle Mooney directed Y2K, making his directorial debut. You can watch the trailer below.

Limp Bizkit returned to Australia for Good Things Festival last December, as well as sideshows in Auckland, Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne. You can find the outrageous photo gallery from their show at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion here.

Earlier this month, The Kid LAROI announced his Australian tour (after postponing a previous run that was due to take place in February) in support of his album, THE FIRST TIME. He’ll be joined by big-name special guests, including American star Quavo and Western Sydney’s ONEFOUR.

In a glowing review of THE FIRST TIME for The Music, Claire Dunton wrote that LAROI “feels and sounds like a real, honest talent that you can’t help but back as an Australian” and “has perfectly executed the ever-popular ‘90s aesthetic”.
