Doof In The Park, a celebration of dance music, was a major success this year, bringing a major, sustainable festival to the city. Organised by hometown girl and international DJ Hannah Laing, it’s now set to return for another instalment on Saturday 4 July 2026 at Camperdown Park. 

Leading the line-up is Paul Van Dyk, the Grammy-nominated DJ who’s retained his star status in the industry since the mid-2000s. Also on the bill is hard dance heavyweight Eddie Halliwell, Belgium’s Novah, Dutch producer Maddix, genre-blending selector Odymel, and fast-rising talent The Rocket Man, who recently collaborated with Laing on Rewind via her own Doof label.

‘Last year’s Doof In The Park honestly blew me away,’ said Laing. ‘To bring something that big to my hometown and see so many people come together for it was emotional — pure joy from start to finish. Dundee’s never had anything like it, and I’m so proud we made it happen. I can’t wait to do it all again!’
