Mannequin Pussy launch GoFundMe after having tour gear and merch stolen

26 October 2021, 15:06 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Mannequin Pussy have launched a new GoFundMe after having their tour gear, merchandise and van stolen from outside their hotel in Akron, Ohio.

The GoFundMe was launched by the Philadelphia band yesterday (25 October), and revealed that their tour gear was stolen over the weekend while they were staying in a hotel in Akron, Ohio.

"All of our gear, all of our merch, and many personal belongings are now lost," Mannequin Pussy wrote.

The band added, "This has been a huge loss for all of us, both financially and emotionally. Between the stolen gear, lost merch sales, new merch printing, new van rentals, and more, we're estimating at least a $50,000 loss. Luckily we have insurance for the gear and the van, but that will only cover SOME of the gear and there are still more costs coming as we try to catch up from this. As the goal is only an estimation, if we meet or exceed our actual needs with funds to spare, they will be donated to an organization of our choosing."

Over the weekend the group posted a full list of stolen gear, which includes multiple guitars, pedals, amps, drums and more. View the full list below.

Mannequin Pussy's GoFundMe has a $30,000 target, and in less than 24 hours they've already passed their initial goal, meaning the extra money will be donated to an organisation.
