The last Bandcamp Friday promotion of 2025 happened last week, but the platform has already confirmed plans for its return in 2026. In fact, it’ll be holding eight Bandcamp Fridays over the next year, starting on 6 February with further events in March, May, August, September, October, November and December.
The backloading towards the end of the year is interesting there: suggesting some art and science behind the scheduling based on sales ramping up in the latter half.
Since Bandcamp was acquired by Songtradr in 2023, its commitment to its fee-waiving promotion has continued, with the company noting that Bandcamp Fridays have generated more than $150m of sales for independent musicians and labels over the last five years.
