Spring has finally decided to show up (kind of), and Dundee is ready to party. This month, we’ve got everything from hard-hitting techno to soulful Northern classics, side-splitting comedy to theatrical deep-dives. Whether you’re here for the tunes, the drama, or just an excuse to eat your weight in local delicacies, we’ve got you covered.

🎶 For the Music Lovers

  • Gary Barlow’s ‘The Songbook Tour’ (April 30, Caird Hall) – Take That? More like Take My Money! Gary Barlow is blessing us with his greatest hits, and let’s be honest—you will be singing along.
  • Dundee Metal Fest (April 19, Beat Generator Live!) – If your idea of a good time involves heavy riffs, walls of sound, and possibly some questionable headbanging decisions, this one’s for you. Bonus: afterparty at Church Dundee. No actual church involved—just more music.
  • Northern Live – Do I Love You (April 18, Caird Hall) – Northern Soul fans, assemble! Dust off those dancing shoes and prepare for a night of absolute classics.
  • Super Ska Sundays (All April, various venues) – Because nothing lifts the mood like a good brass section and some upbeat ska rhythms.

🎭 For the Culture Seekers

  • Myra’s Story (April 10, 12 Bellfield Street) – A heart-wrenching, powerful performance about struggle and resilience. Not exactly a laugh-a-minute, but absolutely worth experiencing.
  • Singin’ I’m No a Billy, He’s a Tim – 20th Anniversary Tour (April 4, Various Locations) – Scottish theatre at its best. Hilarious, sharp, and still just as relevant 20 years later.
  • Friday Comedy ft. Phil Differ & Susan Morrison (April 4) – If you need a night of top-tier Scottish humor, this is the one. Just don’t sit in the front row unless you’re feeling brave.

⚔️ For the History & Adventure Buffs

  • Scottish HEMA Intramural Tournament (April 19, The Friary) – Ever wanted to see people duel like it’s the 1400s? Now’s your chance. Swords, history, and a touch of medieval drama—what’s not to love?
  • Bringing Maryfield Tram Depot Back to Life (April 3, Glasite Hall) – Trams are making a comeback, and this is your chance to learn how Dundee’s past is rolling into the future.

🍽️ For the Foodies & Chill Seekers

  • Gidi Grill – Fancy dining with a Caribbean twist? This one’s for you.
  • Don Padrino – Steakhouse delights!
  • Piccolo – Authentic Italian in the heart of Dundee. Because sometimes, only pasta will do.

And when you’re done eating and dancing yourself into oblivion, you’ll need a place to crash:

No Fools!

Dundee in April = an absolute vibe. Whether you’re here for the music, the history, or just a pint and a good time, the city’s got you covered. So book your tickets, pack your bags, and get ready for a month of unforgettable moments.
