Support Sled Island 2020 Artists Through Bandcamp's COVID-19 Initiative: Sled Island

Support Sled Island 2020 Artists Through Bandcamp's COVID-19 Initiative

Friends, if your current situation allows, today we ask you to consider purchasing some music or merch directly from the many musicians who have seen their livelihood and creative outlet decimated by the current pandemic. Bandcamp, an organization that genuinely values artists, will be forgoing their revenue share from all sales until midnight tonight, March 20th. If you've been holding off buying an album from one of your favourite artists, or have seen friends have to cancel tours, please do consider choosing today as the day to buy from them.

Below is a list of Bandcamp links for the artists confirmed for the 2020 edition of the festival. While the Sled Island community is large, with thousands of bands having showcased over the years, we know that we represent an extremely tiny fraction of the overall industry that is hurting so much right now. Remember, staying at home doesn't mean you can't be discovering a whole new world of music.
