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.Mancunian rockers James have been announced as surprise headliners for Festival No 6.
The band will co-headline the festival’s main stage on Sunday 6 September with Grace Jones.
The indie rock band will join fellow Festival No 6 headliners Belle & Sebastian, who will top the bill on Saturday, and Metronomy, who will perform on Friday.
James have been on the road following the critical acclaim of their latest album La Petite Mort last year, playing their classic Nineties songs as well as new material.
They join a line-up that includes Catfish & The Bottlemen, James Bay, Years & Years, Badly Drawn Boy and Mercury Prize nominee Kate Tempest.
Other new additions to the festival line-up include New York hip hop producer Arthur Baker and the return of composer-in-residence Joe Dudell, who will be collaborating with Gaz Coombes, Edwyn Collins, Jane Weaver and Rae Morris on new material.
Set in the picturesque Italiante village of Portmeirion in north Wales, the boutique festival offers a broad arts and music programme including talks from Irvine Welsh, Maxine Peake and Dom Joly.
More music acts, venues and famous chefs will be revealed later this summer.
Festival No 6 takes place in Portmeirion from 3-6 September. www.festivalnumber6.com.
