A huge tent has appeared in Camperdown Park as final preparations for doof in the Park get underway.

The one-day dance festival, hosted and headlined by Dundee DJ Hannah Laing, will take place in the park on Saturday.

Around 15,000 revellers are expected to attend, with dance icons Armin van Buuren and Judge Jules joining the 25-act line-up.

On Monday, workers were seen setting up the staging, with the gated entry system already in place.

Road restrictions will also be in place on the day.

“Bringing everyone together where I have lived all my life is going to be special and great for the city.”
