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.

The Black Keys, Ride and The Strokes have been announced as headliners for next summer’s Primavera Sound in Barcelona.

The popular music festival is returning for a 15th year at the end of May, with Interpol, alt-J, Damien Rice and James Blake also featuring on the eclectic line-up.

‘Godmother of Punk’ Patti Smith will perform the entirety of her landmark album Horses, as well as giving a second acoustic performance and another of “spoken word”.

Scottish band Belle & Sebastian are also confirmed to appear alongside The Replacements, Underworld, Run the Jewels, Jungle, Ariel Pink, Jon Hopkins and The New Pornographers.

Primavera Sound revealed the acts taking to its stage as a video game on mobile app. The festival runs from 27 to 30 May at the Spanish city’s Parc del Forum.

Tickets are priced at 175 euros until 3 February, after which they will rise in cost to 185 euros and increase again to 195 euros from 5 May until they sell out.

Last year’s Primavera was headlined by Arcade Fire, Queens of the Stone Age and The Pixies.
