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 Big Bang is at the K-R Warehouse Complex, Royal Victoria Docks, London E16, tonight 7pm-7am. Members pounds 19/ non-members pounds 23. Info: 0171- 613 4768

Cast your mind back to a time when the country's best nights occurred in open fields. A comprehensive road map was an essential accessory and the word "rave" was still cutting edge. Now that clubbing has for the most part gone legitimate, few events capture that special vibe.

"World Dance" is one team of promoters guaranteed to blend the best of the old with state-of-the-art 1990s technology. "The Big Bang" will unite 5,000 revellers tonight for 12 hours of Halloween debauchery. An added bonus is that it's legal and there's no mud.

Mickey Finn and Grooverider headline in the drum 'n' bass arena, while Slipmatt kicks off in the hardcore area. Meanwhile, arena 3 showcases house and trance vibes; Jeremy Healy and Graham Gold feature. Arena 4 houses old skool tunes, while arena 5 boasts a much needed chill-out zone. The Victorian studio complex has recently been restored to its former glory; how it will look after 12 hours and 5,000 people is anybody's guess.
