Hotels for Muse - The Wow! Signal Europa Tour

Arena rock on a grand scale, built around synths, big choruses and a lighting rig designed to fill a dome-shaped roof. Fans travelling for this tour tend to be longtime devotees who know the back catalogue as well as the new material, so expect a crowd singing from the first note. A Monday night show tends to draw a slightly older, more settled crowd than a weekend date, with people slipping in after work rather than making a weekend of it. Doors open early enough for a proper meal beforehand, and the night wraps at a sensible hour for a work-week gig.

A sleek, modern indoor arena in Amsterdam's southeast, the Ziggo Dome is the city's leading venue for major music tours, sitting right beside the football stadium in a purpose-built entertainment district. Restaurants, cinemas and bars cluster nearby, with the historic centre a short train ride away.

Bijlmer ArenA station is close, linking swiftly by rail and metro into central Amsterdam. Staying centrally or near the station lets you enjoy the city's canals and nightlife and return easily once the concert wraps up.
