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 full line-up for this year's Glastonbury festival was announced today.
Headline acts at the three-day event on the Pyramid Stage are Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and Blur.
Other veteran performers included in the bill are Status Quo, Tom Jones, Madness and Tony Christie.
This year the festival sold out in February, with most tickets being bought the previous autumn.
Sales flagged for the 2008 festival with thousands left in the run-up to the event, which some put down to the unusual choice of rapper Jay-Z as headliner.
Organiser Emily Eavis told The Guardian: "We know that there will be objections to whatever we do but if last year taught us anything, it was that we have to follow our gut instinct.
"Risks pay off, and featuring Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen in one weekend was a choice that surprised many. But we had a chance to get both performers and we had to take it."
The line up for the Other Stage features younger acts including Bloc Party, Ting Tings, Pendulum and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Black Eyed Peas and The Streets will perform in Jazz World, while Doves, Jarvis Cocker and Echo and the Bunnymen headline the John Peel stage.
This year's festival takes place from June 26 to 28. For the full line-up visit www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/line-up .
