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.

Grace Jones and Belle & Sebastian will headline this year’s Festival No 6 in Portmeirion.

The two confirmed headline acts will be joined by Mercury Prize winners Young Fathers, acclaimed spoken word artist Kate Tempest and vocalist Ghostpoet at the festival in the Italiante village in north Wales.

Following on from last year’s impressive line-up including London Grammar, Tom Odell and Beck, other confirmed live acts include Rae Morris, Shura, Stornoway, The Bohicas and Fryars.

The festival will also welcome its first DJ line-up since launching in 2012, including sets from headliners DJ Harvey and 2 Bears.

More artists, including the final headline and DJ acts, will be announced in the next few months ahead of the festival in September.

Festival No 6 is also set to announce its arts and cultural line-up, new venues and Michelin-starred chefs.

Set in the Mediterranean-style village Portmeirion – and home to the cult TV series The Prisoner - Festival No 6 will take place this year from 3-6 September.
