BandPage was a music startup based in San Francisco, California that produced the application BandPage, which powered over 500,000 artists' Facebook Pages.[1] Artists could upload and share tracks, videos, photos, and their touring schedule within Facebook.[2] In August 2010, Billboard named BandPage one of the "Top 10 Best Digital Media Startups".[3]

On February 12, 2016, BandPage was acquired by Google via subsidiary YouTube for $8 million, which discontinued features on the band page editor and other website features.[4]
