nifty fifty and 24-70 
Edit: I guess I should give a reason too
Take the 50mm F1.8 for the low light shots where the F2.8 might not be enough,
Take the 24-70mm F2.8 so some of the candid shots (as it has a bit longer focal length, and also for some group shots where the 50mm will be too long, as it's on a crop sensor camera
More of a reason to take the 50mm because it's on a 400D so you would want to get a faster shutter speed, as increasing the ISO too much wont give you very nice results.

Ahh I didn't know you had a flashgun (wasn't in the post and I didn't look at your camera bag on your profile )
It's definately worth taking so you can bounce the flash off a nearby wall or ceiling to reduce the harseness of the flash and reduce red eye and all the works.
Like you said the downside is all the gear you are going to be carrying, especially if you are just there for the night and not togging offically, but there's no point having camera equipment and not using it when it's needed the most
Just take it with you and experiment
