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.

Green Man Festival has confirmed that it will be going ahead next month.

The music festival, which takes place in the Brecon Beacons in Wales from 19 to 22 August, made the announcement in a Twitter post today (16 July).

The line-up for the forthcoming event has also been announced, with Little Dragon, Caribou, Fontaines DC and Mogwai set to headline.

Other acts confirmed to perform over the weekend include Black Midi, Shame, Thundercat, The Staves, and Django Django. See the full-line up for Green Man 2021 here.

Attendees over the age of 16 will need to either have been double-vaccinated at least two weeks prior to the event or show proof of a negative lateral flow test taken within 48 hours of their arrival.

Ticket-holders who are unable to attend have the option of rolling their tickets over to Green Man 2022 or receiving a refund. Requests for a refund must be made before 5.00pm on 23 July.

Tickets are sold out but a ticket resale will occur on 27 July at 10.00am.

The news follows after this week’s announcement that the Welsh government plans to scrap most coronavirus regulations from 7 August. This would allow nightclubs to reopen and social distancing to end.

Despite confirmation from Green Man organisers, the event going ahead is still reliant on the public health situation.

Unlike Latitude Festival – which will be held in Suffolk next week – Green Man is not part of the government’s Events Research Programme.

A new survey, as per NME, has revealed that half of UK festivals have been cancelled this year. Kendall Calling and Truck are among the festivals to recently announce the cancellation of their July events.
