Bandcamp Friday will be returning on Friday 2nd February 2024.
Bandcamp Fridays are special days throughout the year when Bandcamp doesn’t take a cut from music sales, meaning the musicians get to keep 100% of the price of their music (after transaction costs).
Bandcamp Friday runs from 8am on the Friday through to 8am on the Saturday (UK time).
Here’s a list of recent Bandcamp releases to check out. You can find out more about Bandcamp Friday, as well as viewing a comprehensive list of local acts by visiting liverpoolacoustic.co.uk/bandcampfriday
