Dundee could host a huge open-air live music festival, with around 26,000 people over two days watching some of the UK’s top bands at Camperdown Park.
Jam In The Park, which will be run along the lines of the Radio 1 Big Weekend, could see two massive tents holding a total of 12,000 paying customers, plus 1,000 “VIP guests” each day over the October holiday weekend.
With their local connections, The View will undoubtedly be among the acts being sought by the organisers.
An application to the city council to host the event has been received from event organisers JAM Promotions and is due to go before the licensing committee next week.
If successful with the application, the organisers are aiming big, naming the likes of Primal Scream, KT Tunstall, Amy MacDonald, The Fratellis, Average White Band and Paloma Faith as among those acts they would like to attract to Dundee.
A spokesman for JAM Promotions confirmed they have been working with city council officers and police, fire and ambulance services on the proposal and hope to have their application rubber-stamped by the licensing committee on Thursday May 2.
A Dundee City Council spokesman said: “An application for a public entertainment licence has been received and it will be considered by the licensing committee in due course.”
