MUSIC Song, by Toad
It may have been a very (very) long time coming, but at long last those doors of the V&A Dundee will be flung open to the public, marking an extraordinary moment in Scotland’s contemporary cultural life. To kick things off with a real bang, the 3D Festival takes place over the opening weekend in Slessor Gardens’ new open-air gig space with Primal Scream as headline act in collaboration with artist Jim Lambie. See feature, page 28. V&A Dundee, Sat 15 Sep. The indie label with alumni including Jonnie Common and Siobhan Wilson (pictured, middle) reaches its tenth birthday, and to mark the event, a series of gigs will be occurring between now and the end of the year. See feature, page 41. Leith Depot, Edinburgh, Fri 28 Sep.
