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.Primavera Sound has announced its line-up for 2017 and it's staggeringly impressive.
The European festival - considered one of the greatest - will host the likes of Arcade Fire, The xx and Bon Iver in its 17th year.
Frank Ocean is also set to headline the Barcelona event which he'll add to his summer schedule alongside a 'London exclusive' set at Victoria Park's Lovebox.
The full Primavera bill also includes the likes of Aphex Twin, Glass Animals, Grace Jones, Mac DeMarco, Sain Etienne and Van Morrison.
Arcade Fire are expected to release their follow-up to 2013 record Reflektor in 2017 while The xx will tour their hotly-anticipated third record I See You with a record-breaking run of dates at London's Brixton Academy (watch the video for "On Hold" here).
