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.

Tickets for next year's Glastonbury music festival go on sale today.

People who registered with organisers by Friday can buy a ticket from 9am. Next year is the 40th anniversary of the event, which is held at Worth Farm in Somerset.

This year's festival attracted 137,000 music fans and featured acts like Blur, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen. It was hailed as one of the best by festival-goers and organisers alike.

Co-organiser Michael Eavis said of the 2010 event: "The expectations are really high. "We're trying to get the best headliners in the world." It takes place between June 23 and June 27.

Full weekend tickets cost £185 - up £10 from last year - plus a £5 booking fee. The registration system, which does not guarantee a ticket, was introduced in 2007 to combat touting. Last year fans were able to extend their registration for three years.

Anyone unsure whether their previous registration is still valid can check online.
