There is no shortage of music festivals to enjoy every summer and no matter how many festivals there are, millions of people descend upon them every year. Spending some time away with friends is often a rite of passage for many people and means that loads of people have something to look forward to each year. Seeing great bands is definitely a major selling point but the camping part is often just as much fun.

If you are taking a tent to a festival campsite, you will want it to be as lightweight as possible. This is because there is a strong chance that you may have to carry it for quite a distance before you get to set up camp. Some festival sites have a long walk between the car parks or bus drop-off points and when you consider you will have your clothes, your food and drink and any equipment as well as your tent to carry, it can become quite a heavy load. Finding a lightweight but reliable tent is often the starting point for a tremendous time at a music festival.

Another important aspect for camping at a festival is to have a tent that is easy to assemble and put up. The less time you have to spend erecting your tent means the more time you will have to party and enjoy yourself. Pop-up tents have become an integral part of the summer line-up for many people and these have to be seen to be believed. They are capable of popping up in seconds, saving a lot of valuable time and ensuring that anyone can erect one. These tents take no experience at all and once you have hammered in a few pegs and secured it to the ground, you will be good to go and enjoy the festival.

As music festivals can be really expensive, this can often influence the choice of tent for the trip. After all, money not spent on the tent can be put towards alcohol or food, and these always go down well at a festival! That's why there are so many budget tents available to choose from - there is no need to spend a lot of money to be able to take part in the camping fun at any music festival.
