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.

A whole roster of new names has been added to Field Day's Saturday line-up with British electronic musician James Blake down to headline.

English rapper Roots Manuva also joins the bill alongside rap artist Loyle Carner, Australian rock group Faker and Brighton-based quintet Fickle Friends.

Irish rapper Rejjie Snow completes the new wave of acts set to play the festival's opening day.

In light of his headline appointment, Blake last night (11 February) released haunting new track "Modern Soul."

The singer joins the likes of previously announced acts PJ Harvey - who'll headline the Sunday - John Grant and The Brian Jonestown Massacre in playing the East London festival.

British rock group Blossoms will also take to the stage having recently finished as runners-up in the annual BBC Sound of 2016 poll.

The festival takes place on the weekend of 11-12 June at Victoria Park. For the full weekend line-up and tickets, head here: fielddayfestivals.com
