Off to see New Order in Amsterdam in October.
Will be travelling with a couple of young teenagers.
Recommendations on where to stay and what to do?

And yes, it probably has been done a lot before and I could look at Trip Advisor etc., but where's the fun in that?

Is that part of the ADE weekend?

Edit - stopped being lazy and googled it. Yes it is ADE weekend which means hotels will book up fast. I went in 2018 to see Jon Hopkins at Paradiso as part of ADE and ended up staying a bit out of the city at Lloyd hotel -

Finally, an STW running gag finds a home.

Coke and hookers.

Also did a walking tour with a very old guy who told us all about life in Amsterdam 50 years ago. Very interesting but no idea how to book him as friend did it. I find it good to listen to a local about their home, different view on the place. Trip Advisor probably good bet.

ADAM on the otherside of the river past the train station, big mechanical swing on the top and a trippy lift on the way up.

Thanks again folks. Hotel has been booked at an eye watering price, but hey ho.
Bodyworlds looks good.
