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 Rolling Stones are to play just three dates in Britain next year after their 34-date tour of the United States.
The three dates will have different set-lists and will be staged at different-size venues. The group will play on 23 August at Twickenham rugby stadium,the first rock concert to be held at the venue, and at Wembley Arena on 29 August. They will also play an intimate gig at the Astoria in central London on 27 August.
The Stones will also play 22 European cities during the "Licks" world tour. Mick Jagger said: "We plan to do three different shows, all with different formats and different songs. We are having stadiums – what we're known for. We're not doing too much operatics, keeping it more modern.
"We're avoiding all the baroque we did on the last tour. We have a different arena show for 20,000 people, then we have a very plain ballroom or theatre show."
