Robbie Williams headlines Come Together as fans arrive in Newcastle

Fans began arriving at Town Moor in Newcastle on Wednesday afternoon as Come Together opened. Doors opened at half past one, and a steady stream of attendees lined up long before the gates, with some diehards camping out in the hours ahead of Robbie Williams performance.

Robbie Williams headlines the opening night after a summer run that saw him play stadiums across Europe. The day also features Perrie Edwards making her first solo North East appearance, along with Newcastle's own Andrew Cushin and the Kaiser Chiefs, who bring festival energy to the site.

The festival shows how a single big name can anchor a regional event while giving room to local acts. The scene at Town Moor highlights fan culture that values live performances and is willing to brave weather and queues for a shared moment. Organizers will watch closely how crowd flow, safety, and amenities hold up as the night unfolds.

If the event meets expectations, it can pave the way for more large scale acts to consider town wide events. But it also depends on how well local infrastructure can support the influx.
