Not on the farm? There's no need to miss out
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.One of the many great things about Glastonbury is that even if you failed to bag a ticket in the annual scramble, you can still watch it live from the comfort of your sofa (which, let’s face it, beats a muddy, possibly even flooded tent any day).
Glastonbury coverage will be available on your TV, iPad and iPhone, with the BBC already releasing its schedule for a weekend of top-notch tunes. There will be highlights programmes presented by the likes of Jo Whiley, Lauren Laverne and Huw Stephens each evening so you can catch up on the best of what you have missed that day (full lineup and stage times here). Glastonbury will also be live on the interactive red button from 7pm.
