Some guy tricked Ohio into thinking that Limp Bizkit were performing at a gas station
This week, Brian Baker made a Facebook event titled “Limp Bizkit Comes to the Sunoco on Wayne” for April 20, 2017. However, fans wanted it to happen in 2016—just a few days later and 9,000 people were duped by the Facebook page, thinking that the nu-metal band were actually performing yesterday at the Sunoco in Dayton, Ohio.

The Facebook page caused so much confusion that the Dayton Police Department had to tweet the following:
BE AWARE: There is NO Limp Bizkit concert Wed. 4/20 at Sunoco station at Keowee St. & Wayne Ave. These ads FALSE. pic.twitter.com/wMo7bYxa9p

But the joke had already went too far—people were making t-shirts and sweatshirts, and someone actually tweeted frontman Fred Durst asking about the legitimacy of the “concert.”
