Very cool, indeed!  I'm stumped, but the front looks like the love child of a 1958 Edsel and a 1959 Chevrolet...

I believe these were popular on "celibate tours" as it reduced the amount of time the artists were exposed to the most heated temptations of the flesh.   ::)  ;D >:(

Darren - Did you actually see this beast?  Any badges or other clues?  Obviously the stage conversion is recent, but the donor bus remains a mystery; maybe it came from one of the European countries with LH steering?

Love child of an Edsel and a '59 Chevy.  I saw the Edsel right off (who couldn't) but the '59 I did not notice at first.  But it's there!  Good spotting!

Thank you.  It's the "eyebrows" that give it away...  If Eugene Levy played a bus in "Cars 3", he would look like this one.

After wasting some time with Google image searches, it appears that this is the Spanish version of the Red Bull Tour Bus.

After wasting even more time, I found more info for you all so you can waste time, too.

There's a nice close-up shot of the front here:
