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.

Described as sounding like Brian Wilson if he had access to curent technology back in the days of his creative peak, Cornelius blends sublime pop moments with some real "out-there" stuff. His Fantasma album remains one of this year's highlights and tonight promises all sorts of sonic bleeps and offbeat visuals.

Another band who are massive in their own country are Sweden's dark- edged pop quintet Kent. Outselling the likes of the Cardigans and the Wannadies back home, with all three of their albums hitting the top spot, they'll be playing a much smaller venue than they're used to. This gig kicks off a mini-residency which sees them playing the cramped Monarch every Wednesday this month.
