The Killers An odd choice of headliner for what is ostensibly a dance-music festival but the Killers' stadium-sized synth-and-guitar anthems should still get everyone bouncing along. Good Vibrations stage, 8.40pm.Friendly Fires With their lush indie-funk and frontman Ed Macfarlane's memorably uninhibited dance moves, the English trio played one of Sydney's gigs of 2009 in July. We're lucky to have them back so soon. Good Vibrations stage, 4.10pm.Naughty By Nature/Salt-N-Pepa Naughty By Nature and Salt-N-Pepa created some of hip-hop's biggest hits of the '80s and '90s €” think the former's O.P.P., the latter's Push It. Roots stage, S-N-P, 4.30pm; NBN, 6pm.Basement Jaxx The Brixton duo are still trying to push the boundaries of house music and squelchy electronica. Good Vibrations stage, 7pm.Kid Cudi Pursuit of Happiness, the MC's psychedelic collaboration with fellow New Yorker residents MGMT and Ratatat, was one of the tracks of last year. Roots stage, 3.15pm.
