Bandcamp is bringing back its Bandcamp Fridays promotion<\/a> where it waives its cut of any money you spend buying music from artists or their labels on its marketplace. Historically, the company ran the promotion on the first Friday of every month, and that appears to be the case this time around, too. According to its update page<\/a>, it has Bandcamp Fridays scheduled for September 2nd, October 7th, November 4th, and December 2nd.<\/p>\n

Bandcamp says that when you buy music during a Bandcamp Friday, 93 percent of that money goes to the artist or label on average (with the rest going to payment processing fees). That\u2019s compared to an average of 82 percent the rest of the time. It started the promotion in 2020<\/a> in response to the pandemic\u2019s impact on tours and concerts.<\/p>\n

As far as I can tell, it\u2019s been a few months since the last Bandcamp Friday \u2014 according to a cursory search of my email inbox, archives of Bandcamp\u2019s update page<\/a> for the promotion, and some math (the page now says it\u2019s run the promotion 21 times, where it used to say 17 times with four future dates listed), the last one was on May 6th. After that, the company was mostly silent<\/a> about the future of Bandcamp Fridays.<\/p>\n

To be fair, it probably had a lot going on earlier this year. In March, Epic Games announced that it was acquiring the music marketplace<\/a>, saying that Bandcamp would \u201ckeep operating as a standalone marketplace and music community\u201d but that it would play \u201can important role in Epic\u2019s vision to build out a creator marketplace ecosystem for content, technology, games, art, music and more.\u201d <\/p>\n

At the time, Bandcamp\u2019s co-founder and CEO Ethan Diamond said that things would more or less remain business as usual for its users. He even promised that Bandcamp Fridays would continue, which they did for at least a little while. <\/p>\n

While the company didn\u2019t immediately respond to The Verge<\/em>\u2019s request for comment on why it took a break, I\u2019m mostly just glad to hear that they\u2019re back. Personally, there are some Manchester Orchestra and Car Seat Headrest albums I\u2019ve had my eye on, and this is a perfect excuse to pick them up. How about you?<\/p>\n

Update September 2nd, 12:30PM ET:<\/strong><\/em> Updated to note that <\/em>it is Bandcamp Friday<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
