The Playhouse's distinctive neon-lit facade and opulent interior drew in large crowds, making it a bustling hub of social life for decades.
The venue continued to operate as a bingo hall for several decades under various owners, during which time it remained a meeting place for Dundee residents.
In November 2024, it was announced that the site was to be reopened as LiveHouse Dundee which will be operated by MEC with an original opening on a phased basis from December 2024 initially at a capacity of 2,500 before extending to the planned 4,500 as works continue.
