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 line-up for End of the Road 2021 has been announced, with the festival planning to go ahead amid the forecasted easing of lockdown regulations.

Taking place in Wiltshire from 2 to 5 September, the music event will host new headliners Hot Chip, Sleaford Mods and Stereolab, who join previously announced King Krule at the top of the bill.

Further new artists announced on Wednesday (5 May) include Johnny Greenwood, John Grant, Tinariwen, Arab Strap and Shirley Collins & the Loadstar Band.

Jane Weaver, Kikagaku Moyo, Altin Gun, Hen Ogledd and Scalping have also joined the line-up.

Other acts to have already been announced are Little Simz, Tune-Yards, Shygirl, Squid and Arlo Parks.

While the festival officially sold out in March, a limited late release of tickets will go on sale on 20 May on the official festival website.

Last summer’s event would have been End of the Road’s 15th year, but the award-winning festival was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

2021’s festival has been delayed until September, where it should be able to go ahead in line with the government’s current roadmap out of lockdown.
