Robbie Williams Confirmed As First Headliner For The New Come Together Festival In Newcastle

 
Poised to be the North East's largest-ever outdoor music event, Come Together Festival has unveiled the first phase of its huge lineup, with Robbie Williams heading to Newcastle in what is the first of a series of major announcements.

Taking place from 4th to 8th June 2024 at Newcastle's iconic Town Moor, traditional home to the long-standing Hoppings Funfair, Come Together Festival is set to attract a range of music enthusiasts with the lineup spanning rock, pop, and indie favourites.

A wide range of ticket pricing options makes world-class music accessible to everyone, ensuring that fans can find an option to suit their budget while still enjoying an unforgettable festival atmosphere.

Robbie Williams takes centre stage on Wednesday 4th June, joined by an amazing lineup of supporting acts. The last time Robbie was in town was in 2014, where he performed to a sell-out crowd at the then Metro Radio Arena and fans will no doubt not want to miss this chance to see their idol along with thousands of other revellers.

Indie-rock icons Kaiser Chiefs will be part of Robbie’s lineup, adding their infectious energy and chart-topping singles to the event.

Also performing on this date is South Tyneside’s very own Perrie (Little Mix) and rising star Andrew Cushin, a Newcastle native.

The full lineup on Robbie Williams’ date includes acclaimed artists such as Lottery Winners, Nell Mescal, and Guy Sebastian. Additional performances from emerging talents Deco, Sonny Tennet, Charlie Floyd, and Harriet Rose round off the bill, guaranteeing a vibrant and diverse evening for attendees.

Alongside the music, festivalgoers can look forward to a vibrant atmosphere with local food vendors, immersive art installations, and a strong focus on celebrating the rich culture and community of Newcastle.

With attendance capacity reaching 45,000 per day, Come Together Festival will transform the Town Moor into a lively hub of music, art, and local pride.

Toby Leighton-Pope, Managing Director of TEG Europe, commented:
“We are absolutely thrilled to announce Robbie Williams as our first headliner for the Come Together Festival. Bringing such an iconic artist to Newcastle underscores our commitment to delivering a world-class festival experience that’s accessible and unforgettable.”


A spokesperson for the Freemen of Newcastle added:
"Securing global superstar Robbie Williams to headline is huge for the North East, putting our Region firmly on the international music map. With a shared vision to make Come Together Festival an annual highlight on the Town Moor, we can’t wait to welcome and entertain audiences from across the UK with world-class music. We’re also beyond excited about the cultural and economic boost this will bring. Our anticipation is huge.”
