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.Reading and Leeds Festival has announced its official lineup for 2018, with Kings of Leon, Kendrick Lamar, Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco revealed as its headliners.
Along with the headliners, organisers also announced that Skepta, Wolf Alice, Courteeners, J Hus, Sigrid, Dua Lipa, Sum 41, Wretch 42 and Yungen would perform at the festival.
Reading and Leeds takes place over the Bank Holiday weekend on 24-26 August.
Fall Out Boy said: "There are very few places that can illustrate the growth of our band from its beginning. However, Reading and Leeds is one of them. It is an honour to be able to headline a festival that we grew up playing and dreaming of that top spot."
Festival Republic's Melvin Benn added: "Reading and Leeds prides itself on being a music-first festival and this year's lineup already proves that. Kings of Leon and Fall Out Boy are bands that have grown with the festival and its fans and we couldn't be more pleased to invite them back to headline. Adding Panic! At The Disco and Kendrick Lamar, probably the most sought-after act in the world right now, we thinking Reading and Leeds Festivals 2018 are off to an amazing start - with even more to come, so watch this space.
