What food should I take with me when I go away camping?
Taking a camp stove is not an option - the camping area is a dry grassy paddock and is under total fire ban.
Water is not provided, so I'll be taking that down in a little tank.
What are some different foods that wont spoil unrefrigerated in 30º C heat (90º F) and that don't require heating? I also have a ice cooler box, so what foods can keep cold (but not overly cold) for three days?

for the first day id try to get away with packing foods that you can purchase on route... ex. fast food/store/restraunt food... this will help you on surviving the first day comfortably.
for the next 2 days...
breakfast
- Bagels
- Muffins
- Poptarts
- Breakfast bars
- Granola bars
- Oatmeal
- Fruit
lunch
- sandwich (peanut butter n jelly), chips, soda
- pre cooked hotdogs?
- suddenly salad.
- Crackers and cheese
- pita bread
- tuna
- cookies
dinner would be the hardest part, it jus really depends on if u can cook with electricity or not... otherwise ill have to scheme up some ideas...

You can take cans of tuna and chicken, and a jar of mayonnaise that you won't open until you use it and then after opening put in your cooler. Take some cans of sweet corn and a jar of relish or chutney and mix with the canned tuna or chicken and the mayonnaise, and you have tuna or chicken salad. You can mix any combination this way to vary your meals, and that should be lunch for each day (or dinner). Naan keeps pretty well unrefrigerated so you could eat it on that.
Then buy your hot foods for the other non-breakfast meal of the day. Take trail mix for snacks. For breakfast, hardboiled eggs taken in the cooler, or Cliff bars, or pastries, or jerky, or some of each for variety.

Granola Bars
Nuts/Trail Mix
Fruit - Apples/Bananas
Something we always enjoy bringing for a lunch is a stick of salami, cheese and crackers. A great easy standby is PB & J sandwiches. I find that Clif Bars are pretty tasty and particularly good as replacements for meals when necessary.

Cooking with electricity... hmm. I was thinking of buying myself an inverter and a grill, but I don't want to be stuck 2 hours from home with a flat battery either.
And there's the issue with that idea, can't start the car while in the campgrounds until new years day. The inverters that I've seen around are 300w at most.
For hot food, I think I'll just plan on buying some meals from the food stalls at the festival. If I take all my food with me then I'll be missing out on all the varieties of dodgy food on offer.
hmm very tricky... do you have a budget?... could you use a hot plate in the future for other camping ventures?... if your willing to spend the money, look into the lower power plate warmers... some only require 300 - 500w(http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/50787423/Coffee_Hot_Plate_Electric_stove.html)
pr maybe u could ask one of the fellow campers to plug in?... fellow music lovers are always willing to help... especially with food.
well it doesnt require that much electricity... maybe 800 watts, enough to warm up most foods. for a basic 2 day camping trip... and 3 meals a day... you'll make it home. jus remember to start your car while using it.
