The opening date for new Dundee concert venue LiveHouse has been revealed.
The former Mecca Bingo hall on the Nethergate has been redeveloped into an entertainment and conference complex.
The venue is expected to accommodate up to 4,500 concertgoers when fully complete, making it the third-largest entertainment venue in Scotland.
It has now been confirmed the doors to LiveHouse will open on Friday May 2 with a performance from DJ Craig Charles.

In a post on social media, LiveHouse described former actor Charles as “one of the UK’s foremost funk and soul tastemakers, DJs and promoters of new music”.
Charles is known for his TV appearances in shows like Red Dwarf and Coronation Street.
The opening night of LiveHouse is set to kick off at 7pm and run until midnight
Tickets are now on sale.
LiveHouse is also set to host the closing party of Dundee Dance Event later the same weekend.
Gus Robb, director of the new operation, told The Courier in March how he believed LiveHouse would become a prime spot for gig-goers from across Scotland.
The Nethergate site was once home to Green’s Playhouse, at the time one of the largest cinema and theatre spaces in Europe.
It closed as a cinema in January 1968 and was subsequently turned into a bingo hall, which then shut last year.
