Baragain here' This one is always recommended as a good quality , quick solo pitch with standing height. never seen it so low priced before. I think its being replaced by the vango tamor.

You could get the quechua base tent which is a pop tent and get the additional bedroom pod thingy that you clip inside. Gives you standing height and the benefit of a few seconds to setup and packdown.

Not actually seen one of these in the flesh but a fair few people on this website use the quechua tents for quick trips and some have just purchased the base unit as well.
Good luck choosing

Oh yes, The Venture could take you anywhere and it's dirt cheap at that price. Easy to put up too. Grabbit and run!

Do you need to factor in carrying your tent plus all your kit across a festival field? If so, don't forget to look at the weight of any tents you shortlist eg the Vango Venture is three kilos heavier than the Twister 5. There are other advantages and disadvantages to both those tents that need to be taken account of, but weight might well be one of them. MT
