These days have been invaluable to the<a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/the-global-live-events-industry-lost-more-than-30-billion-in-2020\/\"> industry<\/a> and those affected, in fact over the nine days fans paid artists and labels $40 million dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent months there has been a lot of progression in the fight against Covid-19 and after a year of uncertainty there is light at the end of the tunnel. The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/coronavirus-covid-19\/coronavirus-vaccination\/coronavirus-vaccine\/?gclid=CjwKCAiA_eb-BRB2EiwAGBnXXiR7g0RoWZKFKJLrLsM8x0hrHfgn2yZ0-JBVmliw2yt6WtVZY7S6yBoChmQQAvD_BwE\"> Pfizer vaccine<\/a> is now being rolled out, which is a massive step forward. <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/festival-season-2021-cancelled\/\">However, there is still much speculation over when or if live music or events will return in 2021, although we are very hopeful.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, Bandcamp have decided to continue Bandcamp Fridays into 2021, on February 5th, March 5th, April 2nd and May 7th. You can follow this via <a href=\"http:\/\/isitbandcampfriday.com\">isitbandcampfriday.com<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the pandemic <a href=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/\">Bandcamp<\/a> have been the unsung heroes of the underground, emerging and independent music scenes. Offering a lifeline, a real financial lifeline to artists in a time of live hiatus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/\">Bandcamp<\/a> also announced earlier in the year they will be <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/bandcamp-live\/\">launching Bandcamp Live, a live streaming service designed for musicians.<\/a> The service will run similarly to Bandcamp, taking 10% of fees for tickets and merch. It will be a totally interactive live streaming platform, featuring chat boxes and merch sale notifications. They have also wavered the fees for this till March 31st 2021.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The important Bandcamp Fridays will run through to 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":82003,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[13,1,11109],"tags":[14865,16498,2958,19037,19036,20172,20173,12745,19820,12614,20018,20171],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.4.1 -
