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 outdoor festival gets a holiday spin this month when it goes on a trip to the seaside. Cornwall's Carlyon Bay is the location for The Beach Festival, a smorgasbord of multicultural activities arranged around a solid music core. The main Open Air stage will showcase Asian Dub Foundation, Bentley Rhythm Ace and Dreadzone, among others, while the indoor Megadog Arena headlines with Basement Jaxx, Eat Static and Laurent Garnier. More music will pound out from the Club and Surfers Against Sewage stages, and you'll be hard put to walk more than a few feet without stumbling across a top-class DJ. All this plus an open-air cinema, cabaret, theatre, a children's area and - oh joy! - flushable toilets!
The Beach Festival, Carlyon Bay, nr St Austell, Cornwall (01736 350984) 14 to 16 Aug pounds 60 (advance only, incl parking, shuttle bus and on-site camping)
