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.It might seem like just last week that the Rolling Stones were strutting their stuff on the Pyramid stage, but details of next year's Glastonbury have just been announced.
Tickets for the 2014 festival, taking place on the 25-29 June, will go on sale on Sunday 6 October priced at £210 plus a £5 booking fee. But festival-goers will only need to pay a £50 deposit before settling their bill in April.
For the first time, coach packages will be available three days before the main ticket sale.
Inclusive coach and ticket packages will go on sale at 6pm on Thursday 3 October. The festival organisers say they aims to “reward green travellers with the chance to be the first to secure their Glastonbury 2014 tickets”.
No acts have been announced yet but founder Michael Eavis says the three headliners are in place already.
The Rolling Stones, Arctic Monkeys and Mumford and Sons headlined the event at Worthy Farm, Somerset in June..
Eavis told the BBC it would be “hard to beat” the 2013 line-up and said next year's headliners probably wouldn't surprise people.
“There aren't many left [to play here],” he said. “It's the process of elimination isn't it?
“The Stones were absolutely brilliant, all the other stuff we’re doing in the southeast corner was absolutely fantastic.
“[It’s] downhill all the way now. I’ve had 44 years of an incredible career and we’re still milking the cows as well.”
Festival-goers will have to register on the Glastonbury website before buying tickets and will be able to buy a maximum of six each.
