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.

The best musical offering to coincide with the solar event starts for real today with a strong selection of acts, including Asian Dub Foundation, Nitin Sawhney and the legendary Sugarhill Gang. Sunday sees choice reggae and techno from Gregory Isaacs, Junior Delgado, Innerzone Orchestra and Coldcut among others. Monday is DJs only, but Tuesday is the main event with Orbital, Roni Size and CJ Bolland headlining the three stages. The Freestylers, the Egg and the Lo-Fi Allstars are among the highlights on the closing day.
