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.

Plan B, Azealia Banks and Goldfrapp are to headline this summer’s Love Box festival in East London.

Harlem-born rapper Azealia Banks will begin the three-day event in Victoria Park, heading the Friday line-up which includes Hackney foursome Rudimental and current number one Duke Dumont.

Plan B will headline on Saturday, which will also see DJs Mark Ronson and A Trak take to the decks along with High Contrast, Netsky, Danny Byrd, Sry and Nu Logic.

Grammy-nominated Goldfrapp will headline the main stage on Sunday, when Radio 1 DJ Heidi will also host her Jackathon.

Lovebox 2013 is to feature its biggest dance line-up to date, with Heidi, Annie Mac, DJ Harvey and David Rodigan among a number of DJs who will be “curating” their own stages across the weekend.

Plan B said: “Lovebox at Victoria Park! My home crowd of East London right on my doorstep- I can’t wait,” while Azealia Banks said she was looking forward to playing in London. “I love UK crowds so it’s going to be amazing to play a festival in London,” she said.
