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 FLUX FESTIVAL continues with Je T'aime Gainsbourg, a potentially very interesting night which offers a Scottish indie interpretation of songs by legendary French schmoozer Serge Gainsbourg. Starting with a short film, the night will include songs both well-known and obscure. Among the musicians involved are Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub and members of Belle & Sebastian, BMX Bandits, Eugenius, the Pearlfishers, the Bathers and Octet.

The next 10 days will see many bands fine-tuning their sets for the Reading '98 festival and one of the first off the blocks are Bis (above). Four years ago, these Scottish disco-punksters were propelled into the limelight long before they were ready to deliver the goods. Now that they have had time to regroup, they promise a more polished but still catchy set of numbers including new material.
