Since its your first gig, just play what you like, try and judge the crowds reaction.. Do they look to tired from skanking out to much, if so drop something more mellow or do they seem like they want to dance more cause you're playing head bopping stuff?

Also, just enjoy yourself, if you fuck up, you fuck up... everyone does it.

Just keep in mind (well I assume) you're supporting bigger DJs, keep in mind you want to warm up the crowd not steal the show, if you make the crowd excited but still leave them energy to see the headliner, promoters and DJs will remember your name more so than if you play an hour worth of bangers.

Instead of playing dubstep, just play this song in a loop:
