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 this year’s Latitude festival has been announced.

Set to grace the stages in the grounds of Henham Park in Suffolk are George Ezra, Snow Patrol and US singer Lana Del Rey.

Primal Scream and electronic band Underworld will also play the festival, as well as Norwegian star Sigrid who won the BBC Music Sound prize in 2018.

Other stars to appear at the festival’s 14th edition include Freya Ridings and Nadine Shah.

Speaking about his headline slot, Ezra said: “It’s no secret I’m a Latitude fan. I’ve been to the festival numerous times as a performer and punter, so to be coming back in 2019 as a headliner – five years after my last performance – is a real treat.”

Latitude isn’t just known for its music acts, but also stars from the world of comedy. Michelle Wolf, who performed at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner in April 2018, will lead the billing with British comedians Jason Manford and Russell Kane also appearing.

The 2019 edition of Latitude – which has won the UK Best Major Festival Award twice – takes place between 18-21 July.
