The online audio distribution platform will conduct five more editions of their inspired undertakings.
In the ruthless world of digital streaming platforms snapping all the limelight from any other modes of consuming music, Bandcamp still holds the fort as the best platform for artists to monetize their art. Since their inception in 2007, they have been the go-to platforms for independent artists and record labels to get full value from their music.
It’s no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic hit the music industry harder than ever, taking off their biggest source of income, which is touring. Being the saviors once again, Bandcamp Fridays was an initiative that began in March 2020, at the height of the pandemic.
Bandcamp Fridays, on which the platform waives its revenue share and passes the funds directly to artists & labels, have resulted in millions of fans paying over $120 million directly to the labels and musicians they love. This initiative has also been extended to artists and record labels looking to raise awareness for causes or raise money for charities.
After their humble undertakings for three years, Bandcamp has now announced that they will continue to conduct their ‘Bandcamp Fridays’ initiative in 2024. After conducting the latest installment on March 1, the platform has announced five more Bandcamp Fridays in 2024. The next Bandcamp Friday is April 5, 2024, followed by the 40th Bandcamp Friday on May 3. After that, Bandcamp Fridays will continue on September 6, October 4, and December 6.
So if you are an artist or a label looking to extract the value that you think is fair for your music, head over to Bandcamp’s website for more details. To maximize the value of Bandcamp Fridays, the platform has shared some tips, which you should definitely take a look at.
