The View To Play Hometown Benefit Gig In Dundee

The View are to headline a fundraising gig in Dundee in an attempt to prevent a local venue from being shut down.

The Doghouse, which was key in helping the band's career, was forced to close last month over a dispute between the licensee and the city council.

The fundraising show will take place at Fat Sams on Saturday (May 2) and is the latest in a string of benefit gigs for the closed venue.

The View's latest album, 'Which Bitch?', was released earlier this year.
