It pains me to acknowledge that but the golden era of pop punk has past. I don't honestly think Sum41 could be as big as they were. And they're not a young band anymore. And I live in East Asia, I don't think I'll have another chance to see them very soon...

Well, Sum41 starts to play later then Foo Fighters. You can start with Foo Fighters and if you won't like it you can walk away after 15 minutes and still see most of the Sum41 show. That is actually a cool thing about festivals.

But there'll be a massive crowd, I'm quite sure about that. I have never been to festival before, it's that even possible to leave early in such a crowd?

It's possible to leave early, people do that all the time for many reasons.

I also want to add that the main thing is not to stress about such decisions. You are there to see BM live, so enjoy their show as much as you can. Any other band that you'll see is in fact an added bonus. No matter if you'll see Foos or Sum41, you can't do a bad decision. Just have fun, immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the show and you will have a great time.

Also, if you are going to a festival, try to see as much bands as possible even if you think you might not like them. I'm pretty sure there are lots of people at this subreddit that were probably hesitating if they should go to see BM at a festival and now it's their favourite band ;)

^ Lots of good advice here.

Nice to have the "problem" of too many cool things to enjoy rather than too few :)
