Beat The Street, a leading European provider of specialized music tour buses, is bringing its renowned services and distinctive double-decker buses to the United States. Responding to years of demand from American clients familiar with their European operations, Beat The Street is officially expanding into the US market, promising to revolutionize artist and crew transportation with its unique fleet of Van Hool double-decker motorcoaches. These buses, already popular in Europe and the UK, offer enhanced capacity and a comfortable touring experience, previously unseen on US roads.
Joerg Philipp, Managing Director and owner of Beat The Street, emphasized the company’s client-focused approach: “American clients have consistently requested our services in the States. The advantages of double-deckers are well-recognized by U.S. tour managers who have experienced them firsthand in Europe and the U.K. This expansion is a direct response to their needs and the evolving demands of the music touring industry.”
Spearheading the US venture is Tim King, who has relocated from the UK to establish Beat The Street’s new American headquarters. Under King’s leadership, Beat The Street USA has already secured contracts for several major tours in 2020, signaling strong initial demand for their services. The official launch of Beat The Street in the US, featuring the debut of the new Van Hool double-decker buses, is scheduled for January 29th, 2020, in Nashville, Tennessee. This launch event marks a significant milestone for the company and the US music touring landscape, offering a first look at the future of tour bus transportation.
Beat The Street’s entry into the North American market is supported by a strategic partnership with ABC Companies, a leading provider to the transportation industry. ABC Companies will serve as the supplier and support network for Beat The Street’s Van Hool fleet in the US. Roman Cornell, President and Chief Commercial Officer of ABC Companies, highlighted the synergy between the two companies: “Beat The Street’s exceptional reputation aligns perfectly with ABC’s commitment to customer value. This partnership represents a natural progression for ABC and Van Hool into a new segment of the North American market. We are excited to leverage our existing European relationship with Van Hool to support Beat The Street’s growth and introduce their expertise to the U.S. music touring industry.”
The introduction of Beat The Street’s Van Hool double-decker coaches promises a new era for artist transportation in America.
