One of Scotland's longest-running celebrations of graffiti and street art is set to return to Dundee next month as organisers have unveiled details for the 2026 Dundee Graffiti Jam.
Taking place at DPM Park on 15 and 16 August, this year's event will bring together around 35 graffiti writers and artists from across the UK and beyond for a weekend of live artwork, music and community celebration.
Running continuously since 2004, Dundee Graffiti Jam is recognised as the longest-running annual event of its kind in Scotland.
Over the past two decades, it has welcomed artists from Scotland, England, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, New Zealand and the United States, helping establish Dundee as a key destination for graffiti and aerosol art.
Throughout the weekend, visitors can watch artists create large-scale pieces live while enjoying DJ sets, with beats provided by Dundee DJ Tunage. An after-party is also planned at Art Bar, featuring Tunage alongside special guest EgeBamYasi.
Organisers say the event has always been driven by a passion for promoting graffiti culture in a positive way, working alongside community groups, businesses, charities and local people to celebrate style writing and aerosol art.
The free event has become a fixture in Dundee's cultural calendar, offering an opportunity for the public to meet artists, see works develop throughout the weekend and experience one of the city's most colourful creative gatherings.
The 2026 Dundee Graffiti Jam takes place at DPM Park on Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 August.
