Irish band Florence Road have thanked Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, the Ohana Festival in California, and Fender guitars for coming to their aid after the quartet's equipment was stolen from their van in Los Angeles on Friday night.
In an Instagram post on Saturday, Florence Road - Lily Aron, Ailbhe Barry, Emma Brandon, and Hannah Kelly - described themselves as "absolutely devastated" that they would not be able to play the Ohana Festival at Doheny State Beach in Dana Point after the theft.
"Last night, all of our gear was stolen from our van in Los Angeles ..our guitars, pedalboards, and everything we need to play our show," they wrote.
"We've tried absolutely everything to make it happen today. So many friends have gone above and beyond to help us, and everyone at Ohana Festival has been unbelievably supportive and amazing throughout this whole situation.
"We're doing everything we can because we really, really want to play for you. We're currently working through some logistics and trying to figure out if there's any way we can still make a set happen later this weekend."
"Thank you for all the love and understanding," they concluded alongside a heart emoji.
In a post on Sunday, Florence Road shared that a little more time made all the difference.
"What an insane 48 hours!!! We couldn't be more grateful to @eddievedder and the whole team at @theohanafest ❤️ We were met with such kindness, and the second Eddie heard our guitars were stolen he insisted that I play his. A true gentleman," the post read alongside photos of the band on stage and with Vedder, who was headlining the festival with Pearl Jam.
"We have the best team of people around us and this show would not have happened without them!! It does take a village!!!
"Big love to @fender for the guitars too <3 And everyone who reached out 🥲 We are lucky girls
"Sliver (sic) linings always!!!!! See you soon New York Xx"
Florence Road will tour Ireland in November and December.
