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.Catfish And The Bottlemen have cancelled a gig at the last minute because of illness, their Irish promoter announced.
MCD Productions posted a statement from the Welsh band just after 6.45pm on Saturday, about 15 minutes before doors were due to open at the RDS Simmonscourt venue in Dublin.
The band said: “We regret to inform you that tonight’s show is cancelled due to artist illness.
“Refunds are available from point of purchase. Apologies to all the fans who have travelled to the show today and for any inconvenience caused.”
The post did not specify the illness or who was unwell.
They have previously won BBC Music Introducing’s artist of the year, and in 2016 took the Brit Award for best British breakthrough act.
Catfish And The Bottlemen are due to travel to Australia and New Zealand in September for several tour dates, before playing shows in the US throughout October and November.
The indie rockers, known for the songs Longshot and Showtime, are next due to perform in Europe in 2025, at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on August 1 and London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on August 3.
