- The online music retailer is waiving its usual fees once again, so now's your chance to support the artists you love.
Bandcamp is donating all its usual fees to artists from midnight to midnight PDT today, Friday, July 3rd, as the scene continues to grapple with the coronavirus pandemic.
This is the fourth time Bandcamp is forgoing its 15 percent share, with the previous three events bringing in more than $16.2 million for artists and labels.
Some labels are choosing to direct all today's proceeds to the artists, while others are donating their share of sales to charities and initiatives. (Some labels are extending the initiative beyond today.)
For more recent releases, you can check out our Support Black Artists list from the last Bandcamp no-fees day, June 5th, as well as its Juneteenth donative drive for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
For a more comprehensive guide, the searchable Black Bandcamp resource features thousands of Black artists and labels on the platform and has been fully integrated into the Bandcamp website. And to mark the recent surge in protests for Black trans people, there's also a crowdsourced list of Black Femme Identifying Electronic Music Artists.
