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.Queens of the Stone Age and Paramore have been announced as Reading and Leeds Festivals' third and fourth headliners, joining the already confirmed Arctic Monkeys and Blink 182.
In a festival first, the two bands will co-headline the festival on the Friday night, before Arctic Monkeys and Blink 182 perform on the Saturday and Sunday respectively.
The event will take place on the weekend of 22-24 August this year, with Vampire Weekend, Jake Bugg and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis also performing on the Main Stage.
Courteeners, Bombay Bicycle Club and Disclosure will headline NME's second stage meanwhile, with DJ sets will come from Netsky, Pendulum and Flume.
Warpaint, Chvrches, The 1975, Metronomy and Jimmy Eat World are among the other acts performing at the annual festivals.
Organiser Melvin Benn last week said the 2014 line-up "will surprise a lot of people," perhaps a reference to the higher number of rappers than usual, which include Danny Brown, Joey Bada$$ and Pusha T.
Day tickets, weekend tickets and deposit scheme tickets are on sale now.
