Festival Round-up - The Misses
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.

Kings of Leon - time to take a break, boys
The California rock band unwisely blamed fans at Reading festival for their lacklustre performance. Met with a cool reception at their headline set, Nathan Followill later wrote on his Twitter page: "Reading? What the f***? Zero love for the kings. I know it was cold but holy s***, y'all were frozen. I can only hope Leeds is in better form." Time for a break from touring perhaps?
East 17 - one reunion too far
Whose bizarre idea was it that the boy band should regroup for Glastonbury? Hitting the Dance Lounge, the trio's singer Brian Harvey told the crowd that the gig "made my whole career worthwhile". Aside from one stand out song, If You Ever, their hit with Gabrielle, the band's performance will likely remain a one-off.
Ian Brown - the frontman who still can't sing
His performance at Glastonbury showed that despite a career spanning a couple of decades, Ian Brown still hasn't quite mastered the art of singing. He mumbled his way through a set which included the Stone Roses hit "Fools Gold".
