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.

U2's At The Rose Bowl, documenting a performance in Pasadena, California as part of the band's 360° Tour, will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on June 7 in the UK and June 3 in the US, announced the band's website on March 30.

U2360° At The Rose Bowl, filmed on October 25, 2009, documents the penultimate gig of US's 2009 360° Tour dates in support of Grammy-nominated album No Line on The Horizon. The Rose Bowl performance was the band's biggest show of 2009 and U2's biggest-ever US show, with a live audience of more than 97,000 people.

The concert was streamed via YouTube - the first live streaming of a full-length stadium concert - pulling in more than 10 million views in one week.

U2360° At The Rose Bowl was filmed entirely in HD and directed by Tom Krueger, who also worked on U23D, a 3D concert movie from U2's Vertigo Tour.

In addition to a standard DVD format, U2360° At The Rose Bowl will be available as a 2-disc deluxe edition and on Blu-ray; the deluxe format and Blu-ray will include a new documentary called Squaring the Circle: Creating U2360° featuring new interviews with band members, manager Paul McGuinness, and the tour production team.

US's 360° Tour continues in 2010, with a US leg opening in Salt Lake City on June 3 and a European leg beginning in Turin, Italy, on August 6.
