Soulfly have issued an alert after thieves broke into a vehicle carrying the band’s gear while it was en route to their upcoming U.S. tour with GWAR.

The incident occurred on the night of March 14th in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where a rented U-Haul truck transporting equipment for the band’s next run of shows was reportedly targeted. The truck was on its way to the launch of the “Gor Gor Strikes Back Tour,” which is scheduled to kick off on March 19th and will see Soulfly serving as direct support to GWAR.

Among the items taken during the break-in were the band’s stage backdrops, along with a personal bag belonging to one of their road crew members.

Addressing the situation on social media earlier today, the band asked fans to stay alert and share any information that could help locate the stolen items.

“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.”

Soulfly are currently on the road supporting their most recent album Choma, which was released in October 2025 via Nuclear Blast Records.
