White Lies might also be worth checking out, that song Death is a great festival tune!

I'm a huge fan of the White Lies, but I seen them live at Slane and they were pure muck.;)

Outside of the main stage, I'd recommend:
Pendulum
Deadmau5
Boys Noize
Bloody Beetroots
Friendly Fires
Foals

Give The Game a shot. Hate it or Love it is one of the best rap songs of the decade
