Bandcamp is to open a record shop and performance space in Oakland next month.
The location, the first brick and mortar shop from the online music store, will sell physical copies of some of the 5 million records that music fans can buy online. It opens on February 1.
"We’re thrilled to join the thriving Oakland arts community that includes artists and labels like The Seshen, Jay Stone, n5MD, and Slumberland Records," says Bandcamp’s statement announcing the new shop. "We’re also partnering with amazing local organisations like Oakland School for the Arts, Bay Area Girls Rock Camp, and Transgender Law Center to throw music-focused community events."
