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.

Four Tet, Father John Misty, Idles and Sharon Van Etten are among the acts announced for Green Man 2019.

The festival, set in the dramatic surroundings of the Black Mountains in the Brecon Beacons, Wales, is returning for its 17th year – taking place from Thursday 15 August to the 18th.

Four Tet has been revealed as the first headliner, while Father John Misty is back after his performance on the Green Man stage in 2015. Brit-nominees IDLES are making their Green Man debut following the release of their critically acclaimed second album Joy as an Act of Resistance last year.

Other acts to be announced include Australian singer-songwriter Julia Jacklin, Belgian-Egyptian artist Tamino (whose debut Amir was named in The Independent's top 10 albums of 2018), Stella Donnelly, Art School Girlfriend, New York punk rockers Bodega, and Nilufer Yanya.

Tickets for Green Man are on sale now.
