8 Argos Big Red Sale festival deals you didn’t know you needed (but definitely do)
From glamping tents to cool boxes and cookers, these festival essentials are all on offer right now


Festival season is finally here, and if you’re planning on pitching up for a weekend of live music, muddy fields and questionable food truck choices, then you’ll want to be prepared. Thankfully, Argos’ Big Red Sale has dropped just in time, bringing big discounts on the kind of kit that makes the festival grind far more enjoyable.
We’ve scoured the sale for the best deals on proper festival essentials: think inflatable sofas that’ll make your mates jealous, compact coolers to keep your drinks cold, and smart double-burner stoves that’ll help you fry up a post-mosh breakfast in style. There are even swankier options for those looking to glamp it up, like the octagonal Coleman tent that basically turns your pitch into a VIP suite.
Whether you’re heading to Glasto, Green Man or a quiet weekend gathering in a field with mates, these deals can help you upgrade your setup without wrecking your bank balance. We’ve rounded up our favourites below – just act fast, because like the best acts, they won’t hang around for long!
