W

elcome to Summer 2019 in Dundee – the cool city with a warm heart!

While we can’t promise a heatwave quite like the one we all enjoyed last year, we’re here to bring you all the news of another fantastic summer of events and entertainment in the city we love to call home.

These are exciting times for Dundee.

The opening of the V&A has helped to put the city on the world tourism map.

For example, did you know there were over one million tourism visits to the city in 2018?

Or that everyone from the Wall Street Journal to Lonely Planet has hailed Dundee as one of the best places in the world to visit for a short break?

While we love that the city is getting the attention it deserves, no-one knows it better than those of us who live here – and that’s why we set up SeeDundee.com We want to celebrate the city’s story and to ensure everyone can stay up to date with what makes Dundee so special.

So whether you are visiting for the first time or you feel like being a tourist in your own city, we have you covered.

Have a great summer!

Rolling back the years at DunDee 80s DunDee 80s is an extravagant new event to join the city’s bustling summer music calendar.

Featuring iconic figures from the 80s music scene such as the debonair English pop group ABC, former Ultravox singer Midge Ure, and Scots duo Hue and Cry, the outdoor concert promises a retro revival at its finest. So, get set to dance and sing along to the best tunes of the decade at Dundee’s favourite outdoor green space.

Slessor Gardens has hosted the likes of Little Mix, Olly Murs and Rita Ora – and now it’s welcoming an extensive line-up of 80s legends.

ABC, led by singer and performer Martin Fry, paved the way for a musical revolution in the 80s by fusing disco funk with a romantic, post-funk vision.

Hue & Cry’s debut single Labour Of Love was fundamental in the growing dance-pop scene of the era, and Midge Ure has received Ivor Novello and Grammy Awards alongside an array of platinum records over the years.

With Go West and China Crisis also on the bill, it’s going to be some party.

sausage roll had a deliciously spicy tang and my butternut and ginger soup had just enough sharpness to make it interesting. The coffee is also excellent and prices are reasonable. An easy and enjoyable lunch in Dundee’s biggest attraction.

TAYBLE DELI, BANK STREET Nora McElhone Tayble Deli has been trendily fitted out to make the most of an exposed stone wall and cute fireplace. It’s strictly food to go, though, with no seating. You can grab something from the range of pre-made sandwiches and salads or build your own meal from the selection at the deli counter.

The dinky premises are trendily fitted out and the staff are happy to chat through the different food options. My meal deal comprised spicy brown rice, a protein portion of grilled halloumi, a side of apple slaw and a pot of spicy chipotle mayo.
