Bandcamp, an online record store and the world’s largest music platform that connects over 5 million artists with over 47 million fans, has announced the 2024 Bandcamp Fridays schedule. Having already produced two successful Fridays this year, Bandcamp has pre-announced six more dates including April 5th, the 40th Bandcamp Friday on May 3rd, September 6th, October 4th and December 6th.

Bandcamp Fridays began in 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic with the aim to assist artists when venues were shut down, resulting in the loss of vital tour revenue. On Bandcamp Fridays, Bandcamp waves their revenue share and gives 100% funds to the artists and labels - which has resulted in millions of fans paying over $120 million directly to labels and musicians they love.

Bandcamp Fridays are a natural extension of the platform’s ‘artist-first mission’, allowing fans and labels to easily discover new artists and continue to support the artists they do every single day; with 90% of sales on Bandcamp Fridays coming from fans who regularly purchase music throughout the year. Bandcamp has seen countless stories of artists following their passions and using the platform to build their fan base and ultimately getting their break with support from a label who wants to take them to the next level. On Bandcamp Fridays, fans “follow” artists at three times the rate they follow them on a regular day.

It’s no wonder The Los Angeles Times called Bandcamp, “The only music platform that everyone likes” and The Guardian dubbed Bandcamp “Heroes.”
