Bandcamp have revealed they're waiving their revenue shares for another 24 hours to give artists a chance to make more income during the coronavirus pandemic.

Last month, Bandcamp decided to give up their cut of sales for 24 hours and managed to sell over $4million worth of merch with all money going directly to the artists.

Yesterday (20 April), the music platfom announced via email that they're planning to waive their revenue shares for another day on 1 May.
