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.The Independent is thrilled to reveal the lineup on our stage at this year's Live at Leeds festival, which features favourites Hak Baker, Dream Wife, Gengahr, Ibibio Sound Machine, Elder Island, and headliner Kate Tempest.
The stage, which is located at the Leed's Beckett Student's Union, is in partnership with the PRS Foundation's Momentum Music Fund.
It offers grants of £5,000 to £15,000 to UK-based artists and bands, in order to help them break through to the next stage of their careers via support for recording, touring and marketing.
PRS is the UK's leading charitable funder of new music, and since 2000 has given more than £32 million to over 6,800 new music initiatives.
Elsewhere at the festival, music fans will be able to see live performances from Confidence Man, Kawala, Fatherson, Mini Mansions, Tom Grennan, Sundara Karma, Black Honey, Sports Team and Another Sky.
Tickets for Live at Leeds are on sale now. The festival takes place on Saturday 4 May.
