NIGHTLIFE

A vast student population and glittering array of cultural, art and music festivals and venues guarantees a vibrancy to rival any Scottish city, and a superb and eclectic selection of pubs, nightclubs and restaurants to suit all tastes.

Dundee's artistic and cultural renaissance is progressing hand in hand with its economic regeneration. The city's traditions in literature, drama and art have flourished with the advent of the hugely successful Dundee Contemporary Arts and the rejuvenation of Dundee Rep theatre. The award-winning dance, theatre and conference centre The Space is home to the Scottish School of Contemporary Dance and has attracted some of Europe's leading dance performers. These and other institutions have contributed greatly to a renewed energy and vibrancy about the city's cultural life.

The city's burgeoning arts and culture scene has attracted world-leading performers and artists to the city. From the best in contemporary dance to cutting-edge stage drama or avant-garde art, Dundee's Cultural Quarter has it all and plenty of places to eat, drink and shop besides.

Music is in Dundee's soul and the city's programme of festivals each year caters for almost all musical tastes. The highly successful Dundee Jazz Festival attracts some of the best jazz musicians to Dundee Rep each year and Dundee Guitar Festival is now widely recognised as one of the biggest events on the international classical guitar circuit. For those more interested in roots and rock music, Dundee Blues Bonanza is now one of the largest free music festivals in the UK with around 80 acts playing at 30 venues over three days.
