PICK OF THE WEEK
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.A Hip Mass: The Superjam
It's the season for paying your dues: last week Noel Gallagher jammed with Burt Bacharach on stage at the Royal Festival Hall (see review, page 10); this Sunday, Damon Albarn (right) salutes the world of sweet poesy with his own mockney-heroics ("6am is awash in violent Dulux / and the Essex dogs are all loved up") at a nine-hour poetry/ song/ dance marathon. It's Michael Horowitz's last major gig before retiring to tend to his couplets. Watch out for contributions from Nick Cave, Patti Smith, John Hegley and, er, Nerys Hughes.
Royal Albert Hall, Sun, 1.30-10.30pm (0171-589 8212)
Tiger Lillies
Martin Jacques wears a beret, sings castrato and pounds away at his accordion as he does so. A performance art legend, but don't let that put you off. Like stumbling across a Brecht/ Weill night down the local Dog and Duck.
10pm tonight, Samuel Pepys, 289 Mere St, London E8; free
