A no-frills tent reduced to half price, from £29.99 to £14.99, plus currently an extra 20% off all camping (web exclusive), so brings the price down further to £11.99.
Hydrostatic head rating is only 1500mm, so it won't withstand much more than a shower, but looks like a fairly good disposable option to take to a festival providing the weather forecast is ok!

Bought for £15 took to the Scottish highlands in October. Torrential rain for 5 days, the tent stood strong and kept me dry. Slight ingress of water on the bottom but what do you expect from that kind of weather? Every tent on the site had water in it.
Was very impressed, will be re water proofing it and taking it again this year.

Price has gone up to £15.99 now (with the extra 20% off), so I'll expire the deal.

I want one BUT for a man and a woman, not a 2 man one.
Quality is awful, the fly-net was torn. It wasn't stitched properly and some of the material I could see through. It also had strange blob marks on one side. I'm taking it back and getting a double-skin tent. I'm looking at the Quechua T2 which is around £25. Double the price but it's double skinned from a reputable brand.
This tent is probably OK for kids to play about in, but if you're buying it for festivals, forget about it.
It's easy to put up - two fibreglass poles criss crossed and arched for the frame. One fibreglass pole arching over the entrance.
AVOID THIS TENT FOR CAMPING!

I have oneof these and its pretty good for what your paying won't find better for less!
Few other good deals on there like 4 man tent pack for £64 and some of the torches

I went for this, purchased as a garden or beach tent. 2000mm hydrostatic head rating which is ok and is a pop up type quick pitch tent, for £20 it's a super price. Thanks

For £12, I guess it's fine. Just hope it doesn't rain when you're planning on using it...
While the fabric may have a "passable" hydrostatic head rating for waterproof, sounds like the seams are not taped/waterproof rendering it useless.
All the other reviews don't state anything about even a shower.
