My fly creek lasted a whole 15 backpacking trips before the pole hub at the pinnacle of the tent broke while setting it up and Big Agnes warranty just stopped responding hahah. Oh and the pole clip broke, needed to be replaced, and it got random little micro-tears in the tent body. Never buying their garbage again. I went back to Tarptent and Six Moon Designs.
I’ve been to many festivals over the years - so it varies.
I often retire an older tent to become my festival tent. One that i don’t care if someone falls on it.
I do like room - so a 4-person tent for 2 people is nice. But I don’t keep much gear in my tent at festivals - so it’s really just my sleeping pad / bag / pillow, maybe a few clothes.
I don’t like taking my XL lux car camping tent - because there isn’t always room for that.
It’s hot when I go often - so a hook to hang a fan is nice. But really - at sunrise I’m probably getting up and going under the shade canopy.
If rain is in the forecast- I may even bring one of my nicer tents to make sure I’m dry.
All that said - a MSR Mutha Hubba is my current festival tent. I also have an older Big Agnes Fly Creek that’s still in working order.

Spacious vestibule, strong in storms, but rainfly tricky solo.
