### Today September 6th is Bandcamp Friday

During these promotional days Bandcamp waives its revenue share and passes the funds directly to artists and labels commission free .

To date, fans have paid more than $120 million directly to labels and musicians during these days. They have also become a time for artists and labels to raise awareness and funds for charities and causes.
