Bandcamp Fridays began in March of 2020 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 final Bandcamp Friday of 2025 will be this Friday, December 5th. You can help us spread the word by downloading these handy social assets. And we’re happy to announce that Bandcamp Fridays will be continuing in 2026! Find the dates below, and mark your calendars:

February 6th

Yesterday (May 1st) I bought two Godspeed You! Black Emperor albums I didn't have yet:

"Luciferian Towers"
Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress

I find it pretty hard to refrain from buying albums when a Bandcamp Friday is coming though. I tend to sporadically buy albums that make me feel things on the spur of the moment.
