LISTEN: Welcome Tay the V&A!

Thousands are gearing up for a massive night of performances in Dundee tonight, marking the opening weekend of the V and A museum.

Primal Scream are headlining tonight's 3D Festival in Slessor Gardens - there'll be a huge dance display from hundreds of school pupils from across Tayside.

The two-day festival will continue on the Saturday with a day dedicated to celebrating creative talent from the Dundee area. It will be free and un-ticketed.

Organisers expect up to 20,000 people to attend the two-day festival, a key event in Scotland's Year of Young People 2018.

We've been taking a look at V&A Dundee's journey from idea to opening:

The £80.1 million Kengo Kuma-designed building will open its doors tomorrow, the striking centrepiece of the ongoing £1 billion regeneration of Dundee's waterfront.

Entry over the opening weekend is reserved for those who have pre-booked tickets.

V&A Dundee director Philip Long said the festival would be a "massive celebration" to mark the opening of the museum.

He said: "Over the two days of the festival around 20,000 people are expected to join us in Slessor Gardens for this important moment for all those who have supported and been involved in creating the new museum.

"The demand for tickets to Friday evening at the 3D Festival highlights the invaluable support the event and the museum has enjoyed, and Saturday is another great opportunity to get involved and celebrate the wonderful creative talent the city has to offer on the day V&A Dundee officially opens."
