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.Kraftwerk have been announced as the first headliners of Bluedot festival 2019.
The German electronic music pioneers, who formed in 1970, will top the bill on Saturday 20 July next year when they play the Lovell Stage, at the festival hosted in the grounds of Cheshire's Jodrell Bank Observatory.
Kraftwerk will provide a special 3D performance for their set, which will mark their first ever UK headline festival slot, following a limited number of sell-out UK theatre shows.
The band are considered as the act who directly inspired the synth-pop groups of the Eighties, along with much of the modern music landscape today, from post-punk to techno.
Weekend and day tickets for Bluedot go on sale on Friday 23 November at 10am.
The music, science and cultural event takes place from 18-21 July.
