From the Wikipedia article
LiveHouse Dundee (stylised as LIVEHOUSE Dundee) is a multi-purpose live entertainment venue in the Nethergate area of Dundee, Scotland. The venue is planned to have a maximum capacity of around 4,500 people, with mixed seating and standing configurations. It opened from 2 May 2025 with further work on the site expected to continue as the year progresses. Once reaching the 4,500 capacity, it will replace the Caird Hall as the largest entertainment venue in Dundee, and it is currently the third-largest indoor entertainment venue in Scotland behind Glasgow's OVO Hydro and Aberdeen's P&J Live, but will become the fourth with the opening of the Edinburgh Arena by 2028.
