Festival camping: tent suggestions?

Diarmsquid

Hi,

I'll be attending Electric Picnic, an outdoor music festival, next weekend.
I'm looking for a 2 man tent that's cheap, but that will keep my dry for the weekend.
I'm confident enough in my tent pitching abilities, so I don't need any "pop-up" functionality or anything.

If you could point me in the right direction, or even suggest a specific tent brand or model I'd be very grateful.

Cheers,
D

Budget 2 man tent. Decent enough tent but cheap enough that you won't care if it gets wrecked at a festival.

in dunnes in mallow yesterday and they has a basket with tents in it, reduced to €12

Is it for one person or two?

If it's for two I'd get a four man, two men tents often leave no room for two people's bags, alcohol, fold up chairs etc.

Get something with two separate layers of material, those €10 yokes in Dunnes with the napkin over the top will soak through.

they are very handy , but they will get destroyed. Buy the one for 12 and spend the rest on a slab of beer;)
