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.

Beck and London Grammar will headline Festival No 6 this summer, organisers have confirmed.

After the anticipated release of his twelfth studio album, Beck will headline the independent festival in Portmeirion on Saturday 6 September.

Brit nominees London Grammar, who have risen to chart success in under a year with their platinum-selling album If You Wait, will join Beck as headliners, with a third headline act due to be announced shortly.

Motown legends Martha & the Vandellas, Nineties pop icon Neneh Cherry, and Simon Green, better known as Bonobo, join the line-up for the three-day festival.

Other confirmed live acts include Jimi Goodwin, Temples, Steve Mason, James Holden and Los Campesinos!

House DJ Julio Bashmore will be heading the electronic arena, with two other headline acts yet to be announced.

He will be joined by Andrew Weatherall, Danny Krivit and Michael Mayer, along with a number of other DJs.

The music acts will be performing across the site, set against the historic Italiante architecture of Portmeirion.

The arts and culture line-up, which last year included speakers Caitlin Moran and John Cooper Clarke, will be announced shortly.

Festival No 6 in Portmeirion, north Wales, takes place from Friday 5- Sunday 7 September. Tickets are on sale now.
