Bandcamp Live

Hear it first, together, in a Listening Party. Celebrate your album release with your biggest fans, and watch the love (and sales) flow in.

Fans can pre-order or purchase the album in all available formats directly from the Listening Party.
At showtime the album plays once from start to finish, and features the full tracklist and liner notes.
Live chat lets you share the story behind the music and celebrate your release with your most loyal fans.

Celebrate release day, together

Catch your fans’ reactions in real-time while you experience your album together. Release day should be a celebration, so feel the rush of love and support in a Listening Party!

Cut through the noise

You’ve put your heart and soul into your music, don’t settle for another social media announcement that gets lost in a feed. Listening Parties help capture the attention your album deserves.

Reach your pre-order potential

Listening Parties are an excellent companion to a pre-order. Offer fans a limited opportunity to hear your entire album before it’s available anywhere else, and drive pre-orders directly from the event.

Setup is simple

Set a date and time, we’ll take care of the rest. We feature your merch and invite all of your Bandcamp followers, so you can just hang out in the chat and enjoy the party with your community.

The Listening Party was an incredibly positive experience! I’m recommending it to everyone. I have never seen such a wholesome vibe in a chat room. Lots of engagement and interaction, so nice!

“We had such fun doing a Bandcamp listening party ahead of our release. It was genuinely so touching to hear people’s reactions to our album as it played, and such a nice way to interact with fans. We were able to share little insights into the record that we wouldn’t have otherwise.

“We had the chance to get real time feedback from fans when we premiered our new album Emotional Contracts on Listening Parties. It was a personal experience between us and our most devoted listeners we don’t often experience outside of concerts.

“A Listening Party is a great way for fans and artists to meet & greet. It’s also fun when folks stumble in unexpectedly and become instant fans. That’s the really fun part.
