In March, [Bandcamp was acquired by Epic Games](https://www.hypebot.com/bandcamp-acquired-by-epic-games-are-the-two-compatible/).

On all Bandcamp Fridays, the company waives its commissions and fees.

Prior to the October reboot, 800,000 indie music fans had spent $78 million on music and merch during Bandcamp Fridays which directly supported indie artists and labels still struggling from the effects of the pandemic. Overall, Bandcamp is nearing $1 billion paid to artists and labels since launching in 2007.

“If you’ve started to feel guilty about buying music on any *other* day of the month, here’s something to keep in mind,: Bandcamp co-founder **Ethan Diamond** [wrote](https://daily.bandcamp.com/features/bandcamp-fridays-update?ref=hypebot.com) in a blog post this Fall, “on Bandcamp Fridays, an average of 93% of your money reaches the artist/label (after payment processor fees). When you make a purchase on any other day (as millions of you have, with close to $1 billion now paid directly to artists), an average of 82% reaches the artist/label. Every day is a good day to support artists on Bandcamp!
