Vans For Bands Ltd. provides high quality touring vehicles (splitter buses, splitter vans, tour buses, band vans) to the entertainment industry. It's run by music industry professionals with years of touring experience in splitter vans and sleeper buses. We hire vehicles to artists at all levels of the industry, from bands touring the back rooms of pubs to acts such as Biffy Clyro, Duffy, The Waterboys, Foals and Seth Lakeman. We also hire a lot of vehicles out to production crews for the TV and Film industry.
Our vehicles are all maintained in house by our own mechanic who has over 25 years of experience looking after Mercedes and VW commercial vehicles. Our splitter buses are maintained to the highest standards, undergo regular checks before they go out on hire, and are covered across Europe by "Mercedes 24 Hour" and "RAC Commercial" breakdown services.
We have a large network of touring personnel (tour managers, sound engineers, backline techs, merchandisers, drivers) and regularly help to crew tours for acts from the USA, Australia, Canada, and the UK.
Our commitment is to keep you on the road - we pride ourselves on our skill at dealing with the unforeseen problems that sometimes arise on the road, and will always do our very best to keep you rolling!
