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 Brit Awards take place tonight (Tuesday 11 May), marking the first live large-scale indoor event since March last year. The ceremony will be taking place as usual at the O2 Arena and will include a number of live performances.
Coldplay will open the show, with early reports suggesting they’ll play their new single “Higher Power” on a pontoon floating on the Thames near the arena.
Other performers include The Weeknd, whose appearance is notable given that he’s currently boycotting the Grammy Awards, along with Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo, Arlo Parks, Headie One, Rag’n’Bone Man, and this year’s BRITs Rising Star-award winner Griff.
The show will also feature a special performance by P!nk accompanied by the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust Choir.
Additionally, Jack Whitehall is returning as the show’s host.
Among those hoping to take home Brit Awards tonight are AJ Tracey, Headie One, The Weeknd, Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa, Arlo Parks, Bruce Springsteen, Cardi B, Jessie Ware and Celeste.
Taylor Swift is also set to be honoured with this year’s Global Icon award.
To watch from home, you can tune in from 8pm (UK time) to the Brit Awards YouTube channel, or watch from ITV and ITV Hub.
