THE VIEW have announced that they will play a special gig to raise money for one of their favourite venues.
The Doghouse in Dundee, Scotland, where the band played a number of their early gigs, faces permanent closure due to money owed to the city council.
Although it is already closed for the foreseeable future, The View will play the fundraising gig at nearby venue Fat Sam's, on Saturday (May 2).
Pete Doherty was also due to play at the Doghouse on April 15 but had to move the gig to Fat Sam's after the closure.
