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 BIGGEST gig to hit Salisbury since Bowie played in 1973," is what a local historian claims about the Supergrass gig tonight, a warm-up show for their appearance on the main stage at Reading Festival on Saturday. One of only two indoor UK shows that the Oxford trio (right) will be playing this year, they're now established as one of the country's biggest bands after their first two albums went platinum. There should be some brand-new material from their third album, which will be released early next year, plus most their hits, from "Caught by the Fuzz" onwards.

Finding a place to do a warm-up gig for a Reading headline performance when you are as famous as Jimmy Page and Robert Plant isn't that easy. The poor things have had to opt for this 7,500-capacity arena to play out material from their recent Walking into Clarksdale album, as well as Led Zeppelin standards.
