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.Between the lush setting and the bespoke alterna-heroes line-up, this boutique bash remains untouched by corporate hands.
The line-up bursts with intelli-pop pleasures: David Byrne and St Vincent bring their pairing out to play; Sigur Rós offer seismic sounds and spectacle; and post-punk harmonists Warpaint stage a return.
And, in the finest festival spirit, there's plenty to discover off-piste: venture out into the fairy light-festooned gardens for the full experience, where the variously gorgeous likes of Night Beds, Daughn Gibson, John Murry, William Tyler and Julianna Barwick await.
