On March 20th, the independent music platform Bandcamp waived its fees on all sales on the service and a total of $4.3 million was spent that went directly to the artists, to help revenue in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. On Friday May 1st, they are doing it again. For 24 hours, any music you buy on the platform will go directly to the artist.
So open those wallets and check out some of the releases we recommended last time around.
