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 Prodigy and Paul Weller have been revealed as headliners alongside The Libertines and Kaiser Chiefs at Victorious Festival 2018, The Independent can reveal.

The Southsea event will host The Prodigy in a UK festival exclusive. Also announced in the new wave of acts are Paloma Faith, Friendly Fires, Years & Years, and Everything Everything.

Faith will be performing some of her biggest hits including tracks from her latest, double-platinum album The Architect, while Years & Years return to the festival circuit: hopefully airing some new material from their hugely anticipated second album.

Acts already announced include Example, The Amazons, Billy Bragg, Coasts, Genghar, and Yonaka, the latter of whom were named on The Independent's "Ones to Watch" list for 2018.

Festival director Andy Marsh said: "We're tremendously excited about this year's festival. We were determined to pull out all the stops and deliver something incredible, and I'm proud to say I think it's our best lineup yet.

"With plenty more to announce in the coming months it's safe to say Victorious 2018 is going to be truly spectacular, we can't wait!"

Friday tickets are available from £30, Saturday and Sunday day tickets at £35. Victorious Festival takes place from 24-26 August 2018.
