Thieves Steal Soulfly Stage Backdrops In Albuquerque Break-In

Soulfly were the victims of a theft this weekend while preparing for their upcoming North American tour with GWAR.

According to the band, a rented U-Haul truck transporting their touring gear was broken into on the night of March 14th in Albuquerque, NM. The theft resulted in the loss of several Soulfly stage backdrops, along with a personal bag belonging to a member of the band’s road crew.

The vehicle had been traveling ahead of the band as preparations were underway for the March 19th launch of “The Gor Gor Strikes Back Tour,” where Soulfly are set to serve as direct support for GWAR.

The band shared the following message on social media regarding the incident:

“Red alert! Someone broke into our U-Haul truck last night in Albuquerque as it was on the way to the GWAR tour. They took all of the Soulfly backdrops and one of our crew’s personal bags. Please if you see anyone or hear of anything suspicious reach out.”

Despite the setback, the tour is still scheduled to begin later this week.
