The platform announced the news on March 2 in a lengthy statement on its website.Bandcamp co-founder and CEO Ethan Diamond said: “Bandcamp will keep operating as a standalone marketplace and music community, and I will continue to lead our team.”He continued: “The products and services you depend on aren’t going anywhere, we’ll continue to build Bandcamp around our artists-first revenue model (where artists net an average of 82 per cent of every sale), you’ll still have the same control over how you offer your music, Bandcamp Fridays will continue as planned, and the Daily will keep highlighting the diverse, amazing music on the site.“However, behind the scenes we’re working with Epic to expand internationally and push development forward across Bandcamp, from basics like our album pages, mobile apps, merch tools, payment system, and search and discovery features, to newer initiatives like our vinyl pressing and live streaming services.”Back in January 2022, Bandcamp also announced that their popular Bandcamp Fridays would return in February.

They have since confirmed that the initiative will continue in 2023.The initiative was launched in March 2020 as a way to support artists affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

Sharing a post on their website on February 3, Diamond said: “The next Bandcamp Friday is March 3rd, and Bandcamp Fridays will continue in 2023 on April 7th, May 5th, August 4th, September 1st, October 6th, November 3rd, and December 1st.
