Other acclaimed artists on day one include Lottery Winners, who have enjoyed success in the album charts and released tunes with the likes of Reverend and the Makers. Nell Mescal, and Guy Sebastian will also feature. There will also be performances from emerging talents including Deco, Sonny Tennet, Charlie Floyd, and Harriet Rose.

Toby Leighton-Pope, Managing Director of TEG Europe, said of the event: "We are absolutely thrilled to announce Robbie Williams as our first headliner for the Come Together Festival.
