Bandcamp Fridays began in March of 2020—a full six years ago now—at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, when the shuttering of venues led to a loss of vital tour revenue for artists. Since then, Bandcamp Fridays—on which we waive our revenue share and pass the funds directly to artists & labels—has resulted in millions of fans paying over $120 million directly to labels and musicians they love. In addition to helping artists pay the rent, or fund album recordings and tours, Bandcamp Fridays have also become a beacon for artists and record labels looking to raise awareness for causes or raise money for charities.
The next Bandcamp Friday of 2026 will be this Friday,August 7th. You can help us spread the word by downloading these handy social assets.
Bandcamp Fridays will continue throughout 2026—check out the dates below, and mark your calendars:
