If you anticipate being compus mentis enough to care about any aspect of your tent, or even where you left it, you shouldn't be going to Glastonbury, young person!

 

They grow up too fast these days

TBH I would simply pop into a camping shop in town and buy the first one that looks of suitable size/shape.

 

There are a lot of things to look for in a tent, but I wouldn't want to risk a decent one at somewhere like a festival.

I took one of these to Leeds Weekend last year for just the two of us http://www.towsure.com/product/12892-Coleman_Trailblazer_5_Person_Tent

It has a large 'porch' area which is great to sit in if it's either raining or you need the shade (equally important!). You can also keep muddy shoes, stove etc in there and distinctly separate from your "inside" area. It's also tall enough to stand in (just). Took me and the missus 10 minutes to erect (we had practiced) and it's previously withstood very strong winds and rain in the peaks.

My top tip would be to remember to take extra tent pegs and a mallet with any tent.

We bought a lovely 3 person tent last weekend from Mitchells, has a porch and can stand up in it too, colour coded poles to make it easier to put up for a beginer too £49

I just got a Quechua 2 sec XL (the pop up tent with the porch) from Decathlon for this years glasto and its ace.

 

I had the smaller version in 2005 and it survived the Glasto thunderstorm perfectly... not one drip inside I would definitely recommend them.

 

This is my 9th Glastonbury my tickets have just arrived and I'm getting very excited! Fingers crossed for the sunshine!

It's definitely worth a trip to towsure or ccc or decathlon to have a look at them all. I think all 3 stores have most models ready-erected for you to take a look at.
