The Chemical Brothers (above) The British electronica duo are on blissful form on their current album, Further. Expect dazzling visuals and euphoric melodies. Future stage, 8.30pm.Mark Ronson & the Business Intl Ronson might throw in some cover versions and guest stars; he'll definitely give you original synth-boosted pop. Flamingo stage, 4.30pm.Dizzee Rascal (above) Anyone who saw Dizzee Rascal at the 2010 Big Day Out knows the superstar can get a field jumping. A Bonkers time is guaranteed. Future stage, 7pm.Leftfield While the Chemical Brothers work behind banks of electronic gizmos, their fellow Brit-tronica veterans Leftfield use a backing band playing more recognisable instruments. The Likes of You stage, 5pm.The Presets (above) Australia's kings of anthemic electro-pop return after two years off, hopefully with new material worthy of joining the duo's small but perfectly formed canon. Future stage, 5.30pm.
