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.

While some 2021 music festivals, like Coachella, have cancelled their 2021 dates due to ongoing coronavirus concerns, Bonnaroo is forging ahead as planned.

The Manchester, Tennessee festival, currently celebrating its 20th anniversary, is scheduled to run September 2–5.

Organisers announced the 2021 lineup today, with artists like Lizzo, Tame Impala, Megan Thee Stallion, Foo Fighters, Tyler, the Creator, and Lana Del Rey.

Also on the bill are Phoebe Bridgers, Lil Baby, Jason Isbell, Brittany Howard, Deftones, Run the Jewels, and plenty more.

In September 2020, the festival said that Bonnaroo 2021 would take place in September instead of June, as previously announced.

Organisers are working with state and local officials on health and safety protocols for the festival. Festival attendees will receive regular updates detailing recommendations and guidelines in place for the event.

“It’s exciting to see Tennessee stages come back to life in time to celebrate the 20th anniversary of this internationally acclaimed festival,” said Tennessee Governor Bill Lee. “Fans are ready to gather together and celebrate their shared love of music once again. We welcome them back for a full Bonnaroo and what is sure to be a truly unforgettable event!”

Tickets for 2021 are on sale now.
