Please note no professional cameras are allowed. Small cameras are fine but anything too big or with a detachable lense will be turned away as we are a small space.

Can I bring a camera?

Free PA and Carer tickets can be added onto an existing ticket by reaching out to dice.fm/contact. If possible please request these as soon as possible after purchase of your original ticket to ensure availability. These spots are limited for sold out events.

How do I arrange a carer/PA ticket?

Sometimes this is possible, sometimes not. It all depends on if we have extra stock on the night!

Can I upgrade my CD to an LP or the other way around on the night?

Unless stated, there is just one set with no support, these are usually shorter than your average headline set. They’re between 15-30 minutes, playing songs from the new release or a Q&A. Please note there is only 15min between the door time and the stage time.

How long is the show and is there a support act?

We want everyone to enjoy their moment at these special intimate events. Although this is solely at the discretion of the artist or their management, there may be some cases where they don’t want photos.

If there is a signing at the event, can I have a photo with the artist?

This is purely at the discretion of the artist and management.

If there is a signing at the event, can I bring other stuff to get signed?

When you arrive, a member of staff will scan your ticket and give you your pre-order upon entry. In some cases the album will be shipped and there will be a print to be signed instead. You won’t be able to collect the album on the way out after the event.

Where do I pick up my album?

The doors and set times are listed on your DICE ticket and on the DICE event. This differs from store to store.

How do I know when it starts?

Unfortunately no, if general entry/free entry tickets aren’t listed there is no way to buy a ticket without an album.

I don’t have a CD/Record player, can I just buy a ticket for the gig?

Internationally recognized as the voice of Nouvelle Vague, Mélanie Pain effortlessly weaves together elements of pop and folk, moving effortlessly between French and English.

With How and Why, her fourth solo album, she returns to the roots of her songwriting — an intimate and elegant folk sound, built around delicate melodies and stripped-down arrangements that place her unmistakable voice front and center: soft yet powerful, fragile yet precise.

Album release: November 21, 2025

In November, Mélanie will be touring the UK as the opening act for Nouvelle Vague, before returning in February 2026 for a series of headline shows — including Hootananny in London on February 15th 2026.
