“Make some noise for Fred Durst,” she shouted, adding, “What a f—ing honor!” Later, she posted a clip of the performance on Instagram with the caption: “Cruising with Fred Durst.” The Limp Bizkit frontman responded with a smiling emoji and fire emojis.

Durst has long been a fan of the genre-defying South African-born artist, previously calling her new single “legendary.” “Cruising to Self Soothe,” released in late February, is Vandal’s first new music of 2025 and follows her support slot for IDLES earlier this year. The gritty, empowering track explores personal strength and liberation in the face of isolation.

“This song is about cultivating your inner strength when navigating life on your own, even when it feels a bit isolating,” she explained. “It’s about that pivotal moment when you recognise that you’re stronger without the people who were weighing you down.”

Vandal continued: “Even when others are waiting for you to fall, you’re still rising — stronger than ever.”

The Loserville tour, featuring support acts Karen Díó, Bones, N8NOFACE, and Riff Raff, wraps up tonight at the Accor Arena in Paris. Vandal has been a standout opener throughout the run, bringing her explosive stage presence to a whole new audience.

After four years without solo releases, Vandal returned in 2024 and 2025 with new music and continued collaborations with acts like Birdz, Illy, DZ Deathrays and Void of Vision. Her self-titled debut album dropped in 2017.
