Hotels for Nothing But Thieves - The Stray Dogs World Tour

A world tour date built around a record that leans harder into stadium-sized rock than anything the band has released before, so expect a heavier, louder set than a typical arena bill. A Friday night slot means the crowd arrives ready to make a full evening of it rather than rushing from work. Expect a young, devoted fanbase who know every lyric, plenty of pyrotechnics and lighting drama, and a mix of the newer anthemic material against older favourites. Doors open early, so latecomers risk missing the support act entirely.

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.
