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.This year’s End of the Road line-up has been revealed, with Vampire Weekend topping the bill alongside St. Vincent, Feist, and Yo La Tengo.
The Wiltshire-based festival marks Vampire Weekend’s first show in four years and will be their only UK appearance this year.
During their break from touring, multi-instrumentalist Rostam Batmanglij quit the band, while lead singer Ezra Koenig, along with bandmates Chris Tomson and Chris Baio have continued to work on their follow-up to 2013’s Modern Vampires of the City.
Canadian songwriter Feist will also make a UK exclusive appearance at End of the Road. Meanwhile, headliner St. Vincent received critical acclaim last year with the album Masseduction, and Yo La Tengo are due to release a new record later this year.
Other performers at the festival include Ezra Furman, Fat White Family, Gruff Rhys, and Ariel Pink, with more acts due to be announced. See the poster below.
