POP: FESTIVAL 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.

The first big rock-biased festival of the summer kicks off today over five stages with Blur, Stereophonics and Beautiful South being safe choices to headline the main stage. Highlight of the day, however, is either Gomez on the second stage or Basement Jaxx for danceheads. Sunday's top billings are the Manic Street Preachers and Massive Attack, but the day's two essential experiences, Fatboy Slim and The Roots, can be found in the Slam Tent. Weekend tickets pounds 58, day passes pounds 32.50. Balado, near Kinross, Scotland (bookings: 0141-339 8383; info: 07000 113114) today and tomorrow.
