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.

Paul Simon and Sting have announced they will tour together in Europe next year.

The duo will start their tour in March in Krakow following the success of their acclaimed North American tour “Paul Simon & Sting On Stage Together”.

The pair will perform in the UK from 7-15 April in Dublin, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and London following dates in Krakow, Prague, Oslo, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Koln, Zurich, Munich, Milan, Vienna and Paris.

The artists will play more than 30 of their greatest hits both together and apart during the show, including “Boy in the Bubble”, “Fields of Gold”, “Mother & Child Reunion”, “Desert Rose”, “Every Breath You Take”, “The Boxer” and “Diamonds on The Sole of Her Shoes”.

Arthur Fogel, president of global touring at Live Nation, said: “We are thrilled to be bringing the tour to Europe.

“The run in North America was an incredible success on all levels. These two legendary talents delivered an unforgettable night of music.”

Tickets for the European tour will go on sale this Friday, 12 September at 9am. Fans will have access to a pre-sale on each artist’s official website on 9 September at 10am and 11 September at 3pm.
