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.

Coachella offers many audial delights this year, with Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé and Radiohead headlining and the list of support acts including The xx, Travis Scott, Bon Iver, Future and Lorde.

If you want to get your face well and truly roasted though, be sure to get a ticket for one of the Sunday dates when none other than Hans Zimmer will be performing.

The world famous film composer is behind the scores of Interstellar, Inception, The Thin Red Line, Gladiator, Planet Earth II and much, much more - known for creating vast walls of shuddering, shimmering sound.

And if news of his billing wasn’t great enough, look he’s next to on the line-up:

Okay, so there’s only an outside chance he’ll end up playing straight after DJ Khaled, but what a juxtaposition that would be.

Coachella will take place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California between 14 April and 23 April. Other acts performing include Father John Misty, Schoolboy Q, Future Islands, Mac DeMarco, Banks, Kaytranada and Warpaint.
