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.Friendly Fires have been announced for a Special Guests slot at Standon Calling festival.
The performance will be the first time the band have played in over 10 years and is a homecoming of sorts, given that the band members grew up down the road from the Hertfordshire location, in St Albans.
Also joining the lineup for the summer festival are pop artist Roisin Murphy, R&B singer Mahalia, folk rock band Kawala, and singer-songwriter Emma McGrath.
They are the latest additions to a festival that already includes headliners Nile Rodgers and Chic, Wolf Alice and Rag'n'Bone Man, plus Echo and the Bunnymen, IDLES, Lews Capaldi, Band of Skulls, The joy Formidable, Flamingods, Honeylung and Sea Girls.
Standon Calling takes place between 25 – 28 July. Tickets are on sale now.
