Organisers of Doof in the Park have just released an “Essentials Guide” document packed with event details, including:
Entry rules: strictly 18+ with photographic ID required for ticket holders (driving licence or passport); no re-entry after 17:00; bags limited to A4 size and searched on entry
Prohibited items: outside food/drink, aerosols over 250 ml, professional cameras, inflatables, chairs, weapons, and drugs — with zero‑tolerance policy in place
Facilities: on‑site cloakroom, first aid and welfare hubs, free water refill points, accessible services including lowered bar sections, accessible toilets, view platforms, and parking
Welfare and safety: police‑supported searches, drug amnesty bins, dedicated medical crews from Crew 2000, and CCTV .
Travel & Transport Logistics
Shuttle buses run frequently from Slessor Gardens between 12:30 and 16:30, looping back from the venue between 21:00 and midnight. Coach options are also available from cities like Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Montrose .
Local Disruptions and Access Notice
Dundee City Council has warned that parts of Camperdown Park (including the wildlife centre and adventure Play Area) will be fenced off from 27 June due to set‑up and dismantling works. On the event day, non‑ticket holders are advised to avoid the area entirely as lorries will be circulating and road closures are scheduled from 21:00; full site clearance is expected by 11 July .
Final Reminders for Attendees
Attendees are urged to familiarise themselves with the Essentials Guide to ensure a smooth day. Remember: no re‑entry, no large bags, bring proper ID, stay hydrating, and keep an eye on travel changes. The festival team also encourages attendees to plan arrival and departures carefully, given road restrictions and active build zones.
Doof in the Park marks a landmark moment in Dundee’s cultural calendar — bringing high‑energy electronic music to Camperdown Park like never before. With a meticulous guide in hand, festival‑goers can focus on the rhythm, the atmosphere, and Laing’s hometown pride. See you Saturday — don’t miss the bass drop.
