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.

The 2010 festival will take place on March 26 and 27 at Miami's Bicentennial Park, marking the close of the 25th annual Winter Music Conference, an annual industry event. Additional performers set to perform include Carl Cox, Faithless Sound System, Armin Van Buuren, the Crystal Method, the Disco Biscuits, and A-Trak. More acts are expected to be confirmed in the coming weeks.

Founded in 1998, the Ultra Music Festival is considered a top outdoor event for electronic music lovers. In 2009, an estimated 85,000 people from 65 countries swarmed Miami to see more than 250 artists on 16 stages. The festival won Best Music Event from the International Dance Music Awards in 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2005 and Best International Dance Music Festival by the Ibiza DJ Awards in 2008.

Tickets for the two-day festival are $139.95 for general admission and $350 for VIP admission.
