Bandcamp has added free Listening Parties as a new way to market releases and celebrate milestones.

A simple scheduling tool sets up the party, then at showtime, the album plays once from start to finish and features the full tracklist and liner notes. There’s a live chat for Q&A, and fans can pre-order or purchase the album and any merch directly from the Listening Party.

Listening Parties are free to host and attend and are listed on the homepage or the [Bandcamp Live schedule page](https://bandcamp.com/live?ref=hypebot.com).
