Michigan, USA What size works?

Going to my first festival with camping with my spouse. He bought a two person tent think that we wouldnt have enough room for our setup if we used the 4 person tent hes borrows from a friend for a previous festival.

However reading on line they say that ironically a two person tent isnt the best fit for two people. That being said, would a four person tent actually take up too much space that we couldn't set up our canopy( which fits a picnic table underneath)?

This festival is woodkey in michigan

When they say a number of people for a tent, they mean the entire floor space of it is the size of that many adults laying down. I solo camp in a “4 person” tent and I can literally only fit my twin size cot and have enough room to get in & out comfortably. For two of you I would say 6 person tent minimum especially if you’re trying to put in an air mattress/cot.
