Bandcamp will continue to help out artists through the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

On Wednesday (12/16), the online music marketplace announced that it will be carrying Bandcamp Fridays, their direct-to-artist initiative to financially help musicians by waiving revenue shares, into 2021 starting February until May. 

Bandcamp Fridays, which takes place on the first Friday of the month, kicked off in March and has since raised $40 million to help cover rent, mortgages, groceries, medications, and much more for these strugging artists.
