Keep in mind fans of :"The Strokes, The Darkness, The Flaming Lips, Jet, Black Eyed Peas, and such." will probably be harder to pick up (ie, more intelligent) than fans of blink. Best bet, find a hot chick to go with, spend the whole day rockin'. Of course, with this approach, you'd have to shell out more for her ticket (Won't do much good to say "Hey, want to go to Big Day Out with me? Yes? Okay, tickets are $100.")...so it is quite a pickle.
