NOVELISTS Take Fans Inside Their Touring Life In New "Bus Invaders" Episode

French progressive metalcore outfit NOVELISTS are the latest band featured on Digital Tour Bus' "Bus Invaders," giving fans an inside look at their touring setup while on Dance Gavin Dance's 2026 North American tour with The Fall of Troy, Horse the Band, and Wolf & Bear. Currently supporting their latest album, CODA, vocalist Camille Contreras welcomes viewers inside the band's two RVs and shares a glimpse into the daily routine of life on the road.

During the episode, Camille takes viewers through the band's main RV, explaining how the space is organized for a long run of touring. She reveals that guitarist Pierre Danel sleeps in the bunks above the driver area, while she points out her own sleeping space located in the chill area. The RV also features a small kitchen setup, where the band makes use of a toaster and microwave while traveling between shows.

Camille also shows off the fully stocked refrigerator and talks about how the band maintains their routines while on tour. As a vegan, she highlights items including vegan cheese, sliced foods, and oat milk, while also sharing her love for chocolate chips. The band stays focused on keeping healthy throughout the tour, with members tracking their calorie intake to stay in shape. The RV also includes a shower, though it is mainly used when venues do not provide one or on days off.

The episode continues with Camille showing the band's second RV, which is used by the crew. While the layout is similar to the band's vehicle, the crew RV is slightly smaller and does not include a microwave, as it accommodates four crew members. Through their "Bus Invaders" appearance, NOVELISTS provide a behind-the-scenes look at the realities of touring, from shared living spaces and daily routines to the teamwork required to keep a major tour running.
