Bandcamp Friday Returns Today — Waiving Fees to Support Artists​

The last edition of Bandcamp Friday brought in more than $3.5 million for independent artists and labels in just 24 hours.

August’s Bandcamp Friday generated over $3.5 million for independent artists and labels in just 24 hours 

Bandcamp, the world’s largest online music marketplace and community, continues its celebration of artist support with the latest iteration of its Bandcamp Friday program. On designated Fridays, including today, October 3rd, Bandcamp waives its revenue share ensuring that artists and labels receive the full share of sales.

Over the last five years, Bandcamp Fridays have become a cornerstone of independent music support. What began during the COVID-19 pandemic as a short-term initiative has evolved into an ongoing movement that has generated over $140 million for artists and labels worldwide in total. The most recent Bandcamp Friday in August alone generated over $3.5 million in just 24 hours. Since 2020, fans have continued to show up in force, and not only on Bandcamp Friday.

Having just recently launched Bandcamp Clubs — a new way the platform helps fans discover music, connect more deeply with artists and each other, and explore monthly selections curated by genre experts — Bandcamp is enjoying renewed relevance in an increasingly saturated music marketplace.

Bandcamp is the premier online record store and music community where passionate fans discover, connect with, and directly support the artists they love. With the majority of revenue going directly to artists, Bandcamp fosters a communal experience with music discovery, where artists and fans support each other in a vibrant ecosystem. Bandcamp artists and labels release and sell a broad range of music products, including digital and physical records, vinyl, apparel, and merchandise.
