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.

Rufus and Martha Wainwright have announced three special Christmas shows in December 2019.

A Not So Silent Night comes to Dublin and London in December, with a line-up of special guests set to be announced in the near future.

Tickets go on general sale on Friday 26 July.

Sign up for pre-sales by visiting the official event sites for London’s Southbank and Dublin’s National Concert Hall.

Dan Gillespie Sells of The Feeling fame will act as musical director of the concerts, which mark the tenth anniversary of the Wainwright siblings’ last A Not So Silent Night event in London.

The 2009 show was the last ever live performance by their mother Kate McGarrigle, and so all profits from this run of concerts will go towards the Kate McGarrigle Fund supporting sarcoma research and a music therapy programme for cancer in conjunction with Stand Up To Cancer Canada.

02 December 2019 Dublin, Ireland National Concert Hall

03 December 2019 Dublin, Ireland National Concert Hall

06 December 2019 London, UK Royal Festival Hall

Got sweaty palms already? Check out our handy tips for dealing with the demand:

1) Make sure you are ready and waiting with the web page up at least five minutes before 9am.

2) Do not let your computer, phone or whatever device holds the key to your happiness run out of battery.

3) Register your details with the website you are booking from in advance, if you can, but don’t panic if you haven’t left enough time as your tickets will be held while you fill out your information

4) Check how many tickets you are allowed to buy in one purchase. If you try to buy more than the limited number, your booking may be cancelled without notice, meaning no-one gets to go.

5) Get your friends to try too, but stay in contact in case you all succeed and end up with a bunch of tickets you didn’t want. If you do need to sell any on, do so at face value. No-one likes a tout.

6) Be patient and avoid refreshing or switching between browsers. Stick with one tab and have some faith! Be prepared to wait for an hour to get tickets.
