The Come Together festival, headlined by Robbie Williams and Kings of Leon, was scheduled to begin on June 4 but has been put off until August 20 due to "scheduling conflicts" - but with the same line-up.

There was great excitement in the autumn when it was announced the Town Moor would place host to what was originally billed as being a five day festival, featuring huge names from across the globe.

The first headliner to be confirmed was ex-Take That star Robbie, who has had success all over the world with hits like Angels, Feel and Let Me Entertain You, as well as packing out stadiums and winning 13 Brit Awards.

It was later revealed he would be supported at Come Together by an array of other acts, including local stars Perrie Edwards and Andrew Cushin, Kaiser Chiefs and the chart-topping Lottery Winners for what was due to be opening night on Wednesday, June 4.
