Thanks for the advice so far.

Yeah thought there wouldnt be much that I will enjoy, but it will just be nice to hang out with friends for 3 days and not have to think about work!

Use it as an excuse to check out some stuff that you normally wouldn't otherwise. Went to a festival this past weekend that was 90% Psytrance, and while not my usual genre of choice, I still had a great time and some of the music was still really good / fun to dance to.

Now and then one needs to put some of their music-snobbery aside for the sake of a good time

I'd probably check out Luke Soloman, Roni Size, never heard of the London Breakbeat Orchestra (and cant listen to audio samples at work), but they sound kind of neat.

Most of that lineup I've never heard before, so I'd just wander around and check out random stuff until something struck my fancy.
