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.The largest music festival in Northern Europe has returned to Roskilde, Denmark, and 179 acts are confirmed to play at the mammoth eight - day, eight - stage music event.
Ahead of the event we invite you to take a look at the obscenely good lineup and not feel an urge to grab your passport right this second.
Legendary rapper Nas will be blowing up the stage and is the latest to be added to the festival’s lineup. He joins Yasiin Bey, better known by his nom de plume Mos Def, in what will be a throwback to iconic rappers.
Head of the program, Anders Wahren says: "It's a crazy, climactic feeling to finally present the full line-up...who collectively represent what we think is the most defining, challenging and relevant music in 2017".
With the global success of their third album I See You, the British trio that make up The xx are more than ready to headline at Roskilde, and will be playing to their biggest crowd yet on the Orange Stage.
Solange, The Weeknd and Gucci Mane will also be performing, along with TInashe, likely performing material from her new album Joyride, and Lorde.
Urban artists Princess Nokia, Bryan Tiller and G-Eazy will be representing at the festival.
Rock superstars Blink-182, the Foo Fighters and Anthrax will be performing for the metalheads.
Other exciting acts include Halsey, Rag ‘N’ Bone Man, Noah Carter and Krept & Konan.
