This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Little Mix said: "We are so excited to be doing the Isle of Wight Festival this year. We've always wanted to go and now we get to go and perform, amazing."

Burgess, the frontman of The Charlatans, will be performing in the Cabaret Club at the festival on the Saturday and Sunday nights and also providing fairtrade food from his Tim Peaks Diner.

He said: "We're really looking forward to keeping festival-goers perky and topped up with Tim Peaks coffee.

"There'll be DJ sets, live performances and all sorts of grooviness and goodness going on."

John Giddings, the festival's promoter, said: "Now that the line-up is complete, I am really excited for this year's festival.

"We have something for everyone."

Other acts already announced include headliners The Stone Roses, The Killers and Bon Jovi as well as Paul Weller, Emeli Sande, Ke ha, Ben Howard, Jake Bugg, The Script, Bloc Party, Paloma Faith, The Maccabees, Ellie Goulding, FUN, Blondie and Devlin.
