Thieves steal €40,000 worth of Clean Bandit’s gear in IbizaChart-topping English electronic trio Clean Bandit found themselves victims of a large-scale robbery last weekend, when thieves had away with €40,000 worth of equipment and cash as they were working in Ibiza, Spain.
The group were visiting the island to shoot a music video alongside David Guetta and Anne-Marie for their latest single, Cry Baby.

Speaking to The Sun, Clean Bandit cellist and vocalist Grace Chatto tells the story of the theft.
“Jack and Luke [Patterson] flew back to London because they had to edit the video, so luckily the footage was safe,” she explains. “But I was supposed to bring back the lenses. We went out for dinner, then, when we came back, someone had crowbarred the window and taken the lenses and laptops and cash.”
While Chatto is hopeful that the band will be able to claim the losses on insurance, she says she and the remaining crew were “scared” to sleep at the same location that night.
You can check out the music video for Cry Baby – which was put together with the footage that was safely transported home before the robbery took place – below.

Sadly, musicians and producers are often the targets of such thefts. Last year, techno artist Pfirter had over £15,000 worth of gear stolen from his studio while he was on tour, including a Roland SH-101 software synthesizer, PSI Audio a-21m speakers and more.
And in July 2023, burglars stole upwards of $100,000 worth of microphones from London-based pro audio supplier KMR Audio.
