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.
Your support makes all the difference.Fresh from topping the UK charts with his second album X Ed Sheeran announced this week that he’ll be playing two headline gigs at Wembley Stadium next summer.
The Grammy-nominated 23-year-old from Suffolk, who just happens to be best buddies with Taylor Swift, looks set to sell out the London stadium which can accommodate around 80,000 people.
Tickets go on sale at 9am this morning for the following dates:
Friday July 10 2015
Saturday July 11 2015
You can purchase tickets through Viagogo with prices starting at £69.99.
Solo performers rarely play the huge outdoor stadium and his performance will be the only venue he plays in Europe for 2015.
The "Sing" and "Thinking Out Loud" hitmaker - who appeared at the Royal Variety Performance earlier this month - played to 275,000 people during this year's sell-out arena gigs.
Sheeran said: “I've made no secret recently of my ambition to play Wembley Stadium on my own in front of 80,000 people, so I am absolutely over the moon to be able to announce it's going to happen next summer. It's going to be amazing, I just can't wait.”
Steve Tilley, of promoter Kilimanjaro, said: “Ed's success is an incredible story and it's just an honour to be involved.”
