Hey everyone,
Today is Bandcamp Friday! We are joining 30+ labels worldwide for the Bandcamp Fundraiser for Lebanon, taking place from today May 1st to Sunday May 3rd.
During these 3 days, we will donate our label share of all digital income on Bandcamp to Beit Aam, a Beirut-based grassroots organisation providing direct support to displaced communities across Lebanon. More than 1.5 million people have been forced from their homes as a consequence of the Israeli attacks that began in March 2026. Despite the ceasefire, the situation remains critical and many are still without access to basic necessities.
All funds go to Beit Aam, supporting essential needs on the ground: food, hygiene kits, shelter supplies, and more.
How to support:
– Buy music on Bandcamp from participating labels this weekend (see list below)
– Share this initiative with your network
– If you prefer, donate directly via the fundraising link : gogetfunding.com/bandcamp-fundraiser-for-lebanon-labelsforlebanon/
If you run a label, a platform, or a radio show, please help us spread the word.
This has been initiated by Lewis Robinson (Mais Um label) and Duncan Ballantyne (Ballantyne Communications), big respect for bringing this together. Thanks to Julia Sabra (of Tunefork Studios / Snakeskin), Dima Ayache (of Beit Aam) and Josette Khalil for the design.
Our latest Rebel Up release, by sheer coincidence, is by the Lebanese-Syrian duo Rust رَست, their album ‘Diaspora’ that talks about social issues, love, longing and displacement.
