Dice, a ticketing and discovery platform for live events and livestreams, has been launched across India, offering exclusive livestreams from local and international artists.
October 31 - Entry deadline for BuzzInContent Awards 2020
Available via the Dice app and website, the Dice service in India offers both personalised global event recommendations — powered by Dice discovery — and ticketing, ensuring fans never miss out on the best music, arts and cultural livestreams from around the world.
Founded in 2014, Dice has changed how fans discover and attend events and transformed ticketing by putting a stop to scalpers and inflated prices. The platform introduced high-quality livestreaming to its offering this April to great success, having showcased over 4,000 livestreams, sold tickets in 145 countries and worked on exclusive livestreams with Laura Marling, Nick Cave, Kylie Minogue and Bjork.

Phil Hutcheon, Founder and CEO of Dice, said, “With venues in lockdown since the pandemic struck, high-quality live streamed shows have quickly become an important new source of revenue and engagement for artists.
“Dice takes event livestreaming to the next level by putting Indian artists on a global stage. Fans in turn enjoy a best-in-class experience powered by personalised recommendations. We understand what it takes to make a great show fans love and only the best events make it on Dice.”
Arnav Banerjee, Dice India Lead, said, “Dice's long-term aim in India is to build a more sustainable live industry to help venues, promoters and artists thrive. Our commitment to the highest production values, as well as our unique ability to recreate the sense of anticipation and exclusivity that fans love about traditional gigs, means we attract the very best in local and international talent.”
Mumbai artist Nuka (aka Anushka Manchanda) says Dice's roll out in India will open up new opportunities for the artist community. “There is talk of how live-streams are a temporary replacement to live shows, yet it's clear that the virtual world of performance is not an alternative, but an addition of infinite possibilities for the artist and fan connection.”
She added, "Dice has a unique understanding of both, and for a multi-disciplinary artist like myself, their platform and discovery algorithms are opening up not just a global audience for me, but also the liberating opportunity to create my performance without generic format restrictions. It’s time to level up."
With an exciting programme of events due to be announced on the app, livestreams currently available and exclusive to Dice include:
*October 31: Pabllo Vittar 111 Halloween Club Night
*November 7: Kylie: Infinite Disco
