Tent
Tent is a simple alternative front-end for Bandcamp.
It is free and open source software, with its code available on Forgejo.
It was inspired by Invidious, Nitter and the like.
How do I get started?
Use the search bar at the top to find what you're looking for.
Why would I use this?
You might prefer it over the official Bandcamp website if you want to
- browse Bandcamp without enabling JavaScript,
- escape Bandcamp's analytics or
- use a more lightweight website.
Why would I not use this?
The official website may be preferable if you want to
- support the artists you listen to,
- purchase releases or merchandise or
- manage your account or collection.
How do I set up redirection?
The easiest way to automatically redirect Bandcamp to Tent is to use LibRedirect.
You can also use a generic redirection extension, in which case you need to create the following rules:
https://$1.bandcamp.com/
→https://tent.bloat.cat/artist.php?name=$1
https://$1.bandcamp.com/$2/$3
→https://tent.bloat.cat/release.php?artist=$1&type=$2&name=$3
https://bandcamp.com/search?q=$1
→https://tent.bloat.cat/search.php?query=$1
https://bandcamp.com/discover
→https://tent.bloat.cat/discover.php
https://bandcamp.com/discover/$1
→https://tent.bloat.cat/discover.php?tags=$1
https://f4.bcbits.com/img/$1
→https://tent.bloat.cat/image.php?file=$1
https://t4.bcbits.com/stream/$1/$2/$3?token=$4
→https://tent.bloat.cat/audio.php?directory=$1&format=$2&file=$3&token=$4
Finally, you can also prefix supported URLs with https://tent.bloat.cat/redirect.php?url=
