  • Use Spotify to find gigs at your favourite venue

    Spotify has just announced that you can now follow your favourite venue, in the same way you can follow artists. The pre-existing linkage to the DICE ticketing app will make purchasing tickets for events at your favourite location even easier.

    Of course, Spotify is still a platform that divides a lot of people, with many artists withdrawing their music over the platform’s political stance and the revenue it gives it’s contributors. It’s up to you if you want to use this new feature.
