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.

M.I.A and Chase and Status have been confirmed as headliners for Lovebox 2014 in the London festival’s first line-up announcement.

The award-winning British rapper and popular drum and bass duo top an eclectic summer bill that also includes Harlem’s A$AP Rocky, electro producer Sub Focus and The Horrors.

Chart-toppers Katy B and Banks are set to perform, alongside the ambient Submotion Orchestra, UK producer Bonobo and dance band Crystal Fighters.

Other acts booked for Lovebox include Bondax, Cyril Hahn, Duke Dumont, Horse Meat Disco, Joey Badass, Joy Orbison, Madlib, Mount Kimbie, Scuba and Visionquest.

Arenas will be hosted by Annie Mac Presents and the Red Bull Music Academy, with parties run by Burning Man’s DISTRIKT.

Then there will be the Dance Off boxing ring to find Lovebox’s best dancer, featuring some special professional dancers from across the UK.

“We’re excited to be headlining Lovebox this year, we both come from London so to play this festival in our hometown will be great,” said Saul Milton and Will Kennard of Chase and Status. “Plus you can always count on London crowds to bring it.”

Lovebox runs from 18-19 July 2014 in Victoria Park, tickets £35
