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.

Glastonbury is back at last.

This summer, the Worthy Farm music festival returns for the first time since 2019. The 50th anniversary in 2020 and last year’s festival were both cancelled due to the pandemic.

Billie Eilish, Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar are headlining the weekend, with hundreds of other acts including Sam Fender and Megan Thee Stallion lined up across the festival’s many stages.

When is Glastonbury 2022?

Glastonbury Festival will take place from Wednesday 22 June to Sunday 26 June. Eilish will headline the Pyramid Stage on the Friday, supported by Fender, Paul McCartney headlines Saturday and US rapper Kendrick Lamar will close the festival on Sunday.

At 20 years and six months old, Eilish will become the youngest ever solo act to headline Glastonbury. Earlier this year, she became the youngest ever headliner in Coachella’s history.

For those lucky enough to be in attendance, weather experts have already provided a forecast for the Somerset-based festival, which you can find here.

For those wishing to enjoy the build-up ahead of the festival, The Independent has compiled a list of the 20 greatest Glastonbury performances, ranked.
