"Come Together" is a song by the rock band The Beatles written primarily by John Lennon and credited to Lennon/McCartney. The song is the lead-off track on The Beatles' September 1969 album Abbey Road. One month later it also appeared as one of the sides of the group's twenty-first single (it was a double A-side, the other side being George Harrison's "Something") in the United Kingdom, their twenty-sixth in the United States. The song reached the top of the charts in the US, while becoming a Top 10 hit in the UK.
Come Together is an all-ages Australian music festival performed at Luna Park, in Sydney. Beginning in 2005, it was originally two separate events, one in April with the second in September. In 2006, a two-day festival was held in June (on the Queen's Birthday Long Weekend), and the festival was again on the same long weekend in 2007. Originally limited to Australian performers, the festival was later expanded out to include New Zealand performers and a small number of international acts.
The festival consists of three stages; two running alternately in the Big Top, with the third running inside the Crystal Palace. Included in the price of the tickets is unlimited time on the amusement rides within the Park.
The festival showcases Australian and New Zealand acts who are relatively unknown to mainstream and commercial radio. Most of the acts play for only 30 minutes with the exception of the headliners who have had either 45 minutes or one hour.
