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.

Caff Coffey guested on last year's Tricky album and sang for the Stereo MCs a long while back, but now the drum 'n' bass soulster is going solo. She's supporting Finley Quaye, so it looks like a good show. 22 Oct (0171-403 0403)

The lads temporarily desert the stadium status to which they are accustomed in the US, to chip away at local resistance to their grim-jaw grunge in Blighty. Oh and they're here to plug a new single.

Folked-up country from the veteran songwriter manages to engage both the head and the heart. Wainwright touts new album Little Ship and Irish warbler Mary Coughlan supports. 24/25 Oct (0171-226 1686/ 734 8932)
