Dundee institution Fat Sams, has been sold to The Luminar Group by Level 2 Entertainments. This brings the total number of nightclubs operated by The Luminar Group in Scotland to four, which includes Dundee-based Liquid & Envy. Commenting on this latest acquisition, Luminar Group’s chief executive officer Peter Marks said, “Fat Sams has been an iconic nightclub and live music venue in the city since 1983. It’s a great fit for our estate and complements, rather than competes with our neighbouring Liquid & Envy venue. Fat Sams is well invested, well positioned and has a large capacity, making it a great addition to our Scottish estate.” Fat Sams, with a capacity of 3,000, offers a variety of music from DJs and live bands to themed events and regular student nights. The adjoining Fat Sam’s live venue brings in well-known bands to grace the stage, with the likes of Amy McDonald and Biffy Clyro and upcoming performances by Johnny Marr and The Boomtown Rats. The venue will transfer to Luminar ownership together with the 37 employees.
