Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

From the world-famous likes of Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds to the latest niche-interest and boutique events, the UK has always had a rich tradition of hosting music festivals during its balmy southern months. These days, though, there are so many different events on offer that sorting the wheat from the chaff can be a bit bewildering. With that in mind, we've sat down, had a think and come up with our guide to the best lesser-known festivals coming up in the next few months.
