For the 5th time Sydney’s favourite boutique all ages rock festival is back under the Big Top.
This June long weekend, the cream of indie and alternative rock bands from around Australia - plus some special international guests - will converge on Sydney’s Luna Park for the annual Come Together.

Returning to our shores are Irish band The Thrills plus British India, Dappled Cities, New Zealand natives Cut Off Your Hands, Canberra’s Young & Restless, Sparkadia, The Dirty Secrets plus 10 other acts that will undoubtedly give fans 12 hours of the best indie rock around.
Headlining Sunday’s bill is one of Australia’s greatest live bands The Living End, who will give fans the first taste of their forthcoming new album, plus all their classics. They will be joined by Gyroscope, whose album debuted last week at number one, WA rockers Birds of Tokyo, South Australia’s The Hot Lies and Melbourne’s Mammal, who brought the house down at last year’s event.
