Bandcamp is getting into the game of the livestreams with their new service Bandcamp Live. According to the site, Bandcamp Live is a new ticketed live streaming service that makes it easy for artists to perform for and connect with their fans, and for fans to directly support the artists they love. The service is available now on Bandcamp and will not charge artist fees until March 31, 2021.

"Bandcamp Live is simple to set up, even if you’ve never streamed before, and is fully integrated with the rest of Bandcamp. This has several benefits: we automatically notify your fans when you announce a show, it’s easy to buy a ticket since so many people already have a Bandcamp account and saved credit card, and new buyers become your followers (and have the option to join your mailing list). You can also showcase your music and merchandise right alongside your stream in a virtual merch table.

"Bandcamp Live also features optional chat where your fans can discuss the show, and you (or your chosen moderators) can engage with your community. Purchases from the merch table appear in chat, driving more sales.

"Finally, pricing is completely transparent. We don’t pretend our ticketing service is free and then surprise your fans with a 'convenience fee' when they check out. You set your ticket price to whatever you want, and that’s what your fans are charged. Our fee is 10%, and we’re waiving it entirely until March 31st, 2021."
