Are Bandcamp Fridays continuing into 2025?
Heck yes!
When are the next Bandcamp Friday fundraisers?
We're running Bandcamp Friday fundraisers for artists and labels in 2025 from midnight to midnight PDT. You may be wondering: Is it Bandcamp Friday right now?
The 2025 dates are as follows:
- March 7th
- May 2nd
- August 1st
- September 5th
- October 3rd
- December 5th
What are they?
On Bandcamp Fridays, we waive our revenue share fee during each fundraiser window to support artists and labels. This started as a way to help artists affected by COVID-19 and the lack of touring income. We've continued to do it because it is still our goal to make Bandcamp the best place for fans and artists to come together and sustain each other, even as the pandemic has waned.
* Transaction fees still apply.
Help for fans
I bought something outside the fundraiser window. Will it still count?
Sorry - any sales that occurred outside the fundraiser window cannot be retroactively included in the fundraiser. However, you can rest easy knowing that 80-85% of your money will still go directly to the artist, and you'll have another chance to send more money their way every month for the rest of the year.
I'm seeing slow page loading, slow download times, or download errors.
We still get lots of traffic during the fundraiser days, which may result in slow page loading or download times, but it shouldn't last long. Best advice is to wait a bit and try again. In the meantime, you can stream your purchases from the Bandcamp App for iOS or Android.
I never got the receipt for my purchase.

Hang on, you took revenue share out of my recent sale!
The revenue share waiver applies to sales made between 12:00am to 11:59pm PDT on Bandcamp Fridays.
Visit Profile Image > Tools > Payments Summary page to view your recent and upcoming payouts, and please keep in mind that both the Payments Summary page, as well as Cha-Ching sales notifications, are in UTC (i.e. PDT +7). Check the date and time that your sales occurred — if revenue share was collected, they almost certainly took place outside the window. Your COVID-19 fundraiser sales may be paid out to your PayPal account in a payout that includes sales that occurred outside the window. Please note: payment processor fees still apply.
What's with the payment fees?
While we're able to waive our revenue share for your sales on Bandcamp Fridays, we aren't able to do the same for the payment processor fees. You can learn more about those fees here.
My money has not arrived yet.
There is a 24-48 hour window before your payout will arrive in your PayPal account. Check your Payment Summary page, which is linked from your Tools page, to see your upcoming payouts. Something else wrong? Get help here.
