Moonchild Postpones California Dates After Tour Truck Stolen in Oakland

Losing the tour truck wiped out the trio's gear, forcing costly postponements.

Overview

  • The Los Angeles trio said a rental truck holding instruments, stage design, lighting and audio gear, wardrobe and merch was stolen in Oakland hours before a planned UC Theatre show, forcing the tour to shift.
  • New dates are set for Berkeley on July 29, Sacramento on July 30, Los Angeles on August 1, and San Diego on August 2.
  • Oakland police are investigating as hotel surveillance from the Embarcadero shows a sedan arrive before the 20-foot U-Haul pulls away.
  • Band members said AirTags placed with the gear were later found tossed in bushes, and they added that insurance will not cover the full loss.
  • A GoFundMe to help cover costs had raised more than $13,000 by Thursday, and the UC Theatre said original tickets will be honored on the new Berkeley date.
