North-east's 'biggest ever music festival' coming to Town Moor in 2025 with big name line-up

Next year, the North East is set to host the grandest festival the region has ever witnessed, as Town Moor in Newcastle prepares for a colossal five-day music extravaganza. The location, best known for the annual Hoppings funfair, is poised for a complete makeover into the beating heart of the UK's live music scene, introducing the inaugural Come Together Festival from June 4-8.

Poised to be the largest open-air music event the North East has had, its line-up waits in the wings, promising leading UK and international acts.

The festival is the brainchild of TEG Europe, in partnership with The Freemen and the City Council, evolving beyond just sounds to encapsulate Newcastle's vibrant culture, boundless talent, and its tight-knit community spirit. In addition to the musical drawcards, patrons can look forward to a dynamic milieu of local food offerings, compelling art displays, and stellar performances—with an eagerly anticipated line-up reveal on the horizon.
