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.

Music fans have shared their ecstatic reactions to the 2022 Reading and Leeds festival lineup.

The events will take place from 26-28 August 2022.

The first wave of acts to perform at next year’s festivals will be headlined by rapper Dave, Arctic Monkeys, and Rage Against the Machine.

Other international rappers, bands, and singers including Halsey, Maneskin, Polo G, Little Simz, Jack Harlow, Megan Thee Stallion, and Glass Animals will also perform.

Pre-sale tickets are available now for Three UK and Barclaycard customers.

Fans are calling the 2022 line-up one of the “the best line-up” Reading and Leeds has had “in years”.

“Don’t listen to the negative reviews on this one this is the strongest line-up in years. I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL,” wrote one excited fan.

Another fan said: “The reading and Leeds line up has given me nothing but serotonin.”

Last year’s festivals were headlined by Stormzy, Liam Gallagher, and Post Malone.

The Reading and Leeds Festivals are a pair of annual music festivals that take place in Reading and Leeds in England. The events take place simultaneously on the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of the August bank holiday weekend.

General release tickets for next year’s events go on sale at 9am on Friday 10 December.
