Some of the best acts to emerge in 2008 (Santogold, thecocknbullkid, Alphabeat and Lightspeed Champion) are joined by such varied musical treats as US disco duo Chromeo, new reggae star Natty, the Complete Stone Roses tribute and everyone's favourite eccentric John Otway.
Throw in headliners The Gossip and The Go! Team and all your favourite local bands and you have two days and several stages of loveliness.
My What's On tips for ones to catch over the weekend are The Loose Salute (what Neil Young would sound like if he lived in Kernow), Robots In Disguise (the finest femme electro pop), The Shoes (one of the UK's most underrated indie bands), and Electric City (three Duran Duran progeny and one Cornishman).
Here's the skinny:
