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.
