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.

Nick Cave is set to bring his Conversations tour to the UK.

Following a sold out run in Australia and New Zealand, the musician will also bring the event to Europe, while stopping by key UK locations including Manchester, London, and Edinburgh.

The night offers a mixture of music and open discussion, seeing him take questions from the audience on a range of topics, while performing some of his most beloved songs on piano.

The event has been described by Cave as “an exercise in connectivity” and audiences are encouraged to be “bold and challenging, confrontational and unafraid” in their choice of questions.

“I thought that a direct conversation with the audience might be valuable – in the recent live shows we have all shown a kind of willingness to open up,” the musician said.
