Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • July 2026 Broadwick signed DICE for 26 Leake Street and Exhibition, adding 100,000 views.
  • August 2026 DICE added Saint Vitus, ViViD Presents, and three Miami operators.
  • June 2026 Summer Smash sold over 130,000 tickets, extending DICE as exclusive partner.

What critics are saying

  • DICE's June 2025 restructuring cut 25% of the workforce, signaling cost pressure.
  • Fever's 2026 integration risks DICE becoming a channel inside a larger platform.
  • Ticketing depends on partner retention; losing Broadwick or Alexandra Palace would weaken supply.

What makes DICE unique

  • DICE's fan-first ticketing uses waitlists, returns, and upfront pricing, not fee-heavy resale.
  • Fever integration gives DICE global discovery channels across 50-plus countries since June 2025.
  • Exclusive venue relationships with LuxFrágil, Broadwick, and Apple Music Hall deepen switching costs.

Blood For Blood, Wisdom In Chains, Missing Link, etc. Booked for 2026 'this Is Hardcore' fest.

Blood For Blood, Wisdom In Chains, Missing Link, etc. Booked for 2026 'this Is Hardcore' fest. A lineup announcement has been made for the 20th anniversary edition of the 'This Is Hardcore' fest. Regular attendees are no doubt aware that this year's edition is taking place far later than usual. Having previously been announced for December 19th & 20th at the Reverb in Reading, PA, today's (October 15th) announcement only covers December 19th, with no mention of a second date on the admat or announcement. Blood For Blood will be headlining with Wisdom In Chains, Missing Link, Big Ass Truck I.E. and more performing. The full roster includes: Blood For Blood Wisdom In Chains Missing Link Big Ass Truck I.E. Bayway Outta Pocket All Out War Shattered Realm Flpsde Suicide Eyes Vile Mind Pain Clinic Cittizins Before The Devil Gemstar Single Print Index Organizer Joe "Hardcore" McKay commented: "20 years ago Sean and I pulled off the first TIHC. No influencers, no real sponsors. It was a push against the 2005 Hellfest that imploded upon the scene the previous summer. With alot of people barely making ends meet and the economy tanking, the best direction to take was back to a privately owned venue in Reading, PA whose owner have been booking for almost 40 years now. One day with a great collection of old, new, upcoming and bursting on the scene level bands. Partnering with DICE, Theprp has a one ticket with the cheapest possible ticket and the lowest fee of any fest in the last 2 years. A few times earlier in the year I was just going to let it rest a year or more as there was so many other festivals this year but with the help of Chris, Richie, Jess and everyone who didn't want to sit out this year's festivities Theprp is making it happen. What comes next for TIHC isn't as important right now as just getting to be around friends a few days around the holidays. Hope to see you all!" Tickets will be going on sale tomorrow, October 16th, at 10:00am EST.

Apple Music Hall announces first run of live shows including an opening night performance from Elton John.

Apple Music Hall announces first run of live shows including an opening night performance from Elton John. The initial shows will be programmed by Apple Music and run until the end of the year Today Apple Music announced its first run of shows at Apple Music Hall in a line up reveal outside Battersea Power Station. With Elton John, set to perform on the opening night, 28th September. They will be followed by performances from Baby Keem, Skye Newman, Troye Sivan, Arlo Parks, Burna Boy, Chase & Status, and Charli xcx. Tickets for the first three shows go on sale Monday, 28th September at 9am. Visit applemusichall.com for more details. This line up reveal follows the announcement for the opening of Apple Music Hall, a brand-new state-of-the-art live music venue in London's storied Battersea Power Station, designed to connect artists and fans through bespoke, intimate performances unlike anywhere else. Apple Music Hall will offer artists and music fans alike an exceptional live concert experience alongside the River Thames. Taking inspiration from the iconic Battersea Power Station, the new venue incorporates heritage brickwork, fluted arches, and bronze balconies reminiscent of the historic oriel windows. A giant glass wall further enhances the visual connection with the historic building, offering a panoramic view of the concourse and the river beyond. The 600-capacity venue is designed intentionally to close the gap between intimacy and production value and allow for an unprecedented level of creative control. Every seat feels close to the performer, yet the infrastructure offers what an artist requires for an arena tour, with a 38-foot-wide stage that can be reconfigured for traditional front-facing sets or more in-the-round experiences. Additionally, the venue is equipped with a 48-speaker spatial sound system positioned all around the audience. When an artist performs in spatial, it will enable fans to hear that performance in an immersive environment. Behind the stage, Apple Music Hall operates as a full production facility. Two dedicated recording and mix studios are built to professional standards so that every performance can be captured as a multitrack recording and mixed in Spatial Audio, live or after the fact. The venue is also hardwired for 16 or more cameras that feed a purpose-built broadcast control room with infrastructure that supports iPhone video capture running in parallel alongside traditional broadcast cameras. Apple has partnered with independent UK promoter Communion ONE to support bookings and promotion for Apple Music Hall, bringing deep expertise in the UK live music landscape. "Apple Music Hall is a fantastic venue, like nothing fans will have ever seen before," said Mazin Tappuni, a managing director at Communion ONE. "The production quality is world class, livestreaming to fans across the world, from a live room where every square foot has the artist and their fans in mind." Live events at Apple Music Hall will be powered by DICE, a ticketing platform founded in the UK and committed to fair and innovative solutions for fans to access their favourite shows. "Partnering with Apple Music Hall is a perfect fit for DICE. The thought and attention to detail that has gone into every aspect of the venue is clear to see, and is in total alignment with our ethos of ensuring fans have the best possible experience when discovering and attending shows," says Andrew Foggin, CCO DICE.

DICE accelerates US growth with new wave of independent venue and promoter signings.

DICE accelerates US growth with new wave of independent venue and promoter signings. DICE, the ticketing platform trusted by the world's most respected venues, promoters and festivals, today announced a new wave of US partnerships, signing Brooklyn's legendary Saint Vitus Bar, Pacific Northwest event producers ViViD Presents, and Miami's The Originals, Phase 3 Presents and Studio 60. The signings mark a key milestone in DICE's continued growth across the United States, following a record breaking 12 months since joining with Fever. The new partners span the breadth of US live culture, including heavy metal to melodic house, from grassroots rooms to large-scale experiential production, with each occupying a distinct place in its city's cultural fabric. Saint Vitus Bar, is one of the most storied rooms in American live music. Named by Pitchfork as "The Best Metal Bar in New York City" and described by Kerrang! as "one of the most important locations to see loud music in the entire world," the Brooklyn institution has hosted era-defining shows from Megadeth and Anthrax to a surprise performance by the surviving members of Nirvana. Ahead of its highly anticipated reopening at a new Bushwick home this fall, Saint Vitus has chosen DICE as its ticketing partner for its next chapter. ViViD Presents, has helped spearhead the resurgence of Seattle nightlife, earning a reputation across the Pacific Northwest for immersive, impeccably produced events built around melody-forward dance music, transforming warehouses, boats, museums, parks and piers into dancefloors, including its flagship EXP summer series in the heart of the city and On the Hiyu, its event space aboard a converted Washington State ferry, alongside partner venues it manages including The Shop Clubs Seattle. ViViD is also a champion of the region's grassroots scene, supporting a community of independent producers including White Rabbit Group, Rose Entertainment, Obsidian, Opulent Temple, Night Owl, Dimelo, Fetch NW, Dilly Disco, Coffeeton and Jaiho Seattle. The Originals, formerly the backbone and creative vision behind the famous HYDE Beach events at SLS Miami are a global hospitality, nightlife and brand development company rooted in Miami, built by a collective of luxury lifestyle veterans with four decades of combined experience across six continents. From Miami Music Week takeovers to international productions, The Originals curates spaces, sounds and environments at the forefront of nightlife culture. Phase 3 Presents, founded by industry veterans Yair Hilu and Josh Horwitz, who collectively have produced events in Miami and Chicago for the vast part of 20 years have come together to bring Phase 3 to life through some of the most desired events in Miami during Miami Music Week, Art Basel and beyond. Whether it's DJ Snake, Deadmau5 or Chris Lake gracing the stage, events are likely to sell out due to Phase 3's attention to details production-wise, lineup curation and the overall care they show. Studio 60, Miami's shiny new toy in the heart of the Allapattah Entertainment District has quickly become a force to reckon with by offering their fans something different from the status quo. Studio 60 boasts a 23-hour liquor license, a very strong creative team and a beautifully designed venue with top of the line production. In a city with many options, Studio 60 is certainly a welcome addition to the mix. These partnerships reflect a broader shift among independent, culturally driven operators toward fan-first ticketing. With DICE prioritizing to develop trust between fans, venues and promoters. Partnering with DICE offers partners fan-to-fan returns, waiting lists, no hidden fees, mobile-first anti-tout technology, audience insights and discovery through the app.

DICE signs deals for Saint Vitus, ViViD Presents & three Miami venues.

DICE signs deals for Saint Vitus, ViViD Presents & three Miami venues. August 19, 2026 DICE is picking up a fresh batch of US venue and promoter partners, adding Brooklyn's Saint Vitus Bar, Seattle's ViViD Presents, and three Miami operators - The Originals, Phase 3 Presents and Studio 60 - to its ticketing platform. The signings, announced August 18, mark the latest step in DICE's expansion across independent live music in the United States since being acquired by Fever last year. The new roster covers a wide stretch of genres and scenes, from grassroots metal clubs to large-scale dance music production. DICE has built its reputation on fan-to-fan ticket returns, waitlists, no hidden fees, and mobile-first anti-tout technology, along with audience analytics that promoters can use to better understand who's actually showing up to their events. Saint Vitus Bar, one of the most storied rooms in the American metal scene, joins DICE ahead of its reopening in a new Bushwick location this fall. Recognized by outlets like Pitchfork and Kerrang! for its central role in New York's heavy music landscape, the iconic Brooklyn venue has previously hosted legendary performances from Megadeth, Anthrax, and the surviving members of Nirvana. Beyond rock, DICE expands its dance music roster in the Pacific Northwest by partnering with Seattle's ViViD Presents. Known for its melody-forward programming, ViViD runs the EXP summer series, manages venue spaces like The Shop Clubs Seattle, and hosts events on a converted Washington State ferry called On the Hiyu, while collaborating closely with local promoters like White Rabbit Group and Opulent Temple. Miami rounds out the announcement with three high-profile nightlife additions joining the platform. The Originals, the veteran team formerly behind HYDE Beach at SLS Miami, bring decades of hospitality experience and major Miami Music Week takeovers to the partnership. They are joined by Phase 3 Presents - a 20-year event powerhouse founded by Yair Hilu and Josh Horwitz that routinely books heavyweights like DJ Snake, Deadmau5, and Chris Lake across Miami and Chicago - and Studio 60, a newer Allapattah Entertainment District venue drawing crowds outside the traditional club circuit with its high-end production setup and 23-hour liquor license. DICE frames the wave of signings as part of a broader move among independent, culturally-driven promoters toward fan-first ticketing practices, an area the platform has leaned into since its 2014 launch. The app is built around upfront, all-in pricing and personalized event recommendations, positioning itself as an alternative to the fee-heavy ticketing models that have drawn criticism across the live events industry. More information on the platform and its current partners is available at dice.fm.
