If there’s one wonderful thing that local music lovers can count on loving about our soggy St. John’s springs, it’s the annual Lawnya Vawnya Festival. The festival grants us days and days of dandy music, fairs, panels, workshops and more, and it features hometown heroes, and local bands that got away, alongside bands you’ve only dreamed you’d see in this town. The fabulous folks at Lawnya Vawnya don’t want you to miss it, so here they are, giving you a shot at TWO FREE FESTIVAL PASSES! All you have to do to win is leave a comment below, telling us one act in particular that you can’t wait to see. It was a particularly nice touch, The Overcast thought, to yank The Burning Hell all the back here (from Europe) to play us a show. Tickets are available as of today at Fixed Coffee & Baking, a fine friend of the festival, and home to some of the festival’s finest fond LV memories. Like that Grey Kingdom pop-up show last year.
Here, sample some of these acts and take the Lawnya Vawnya tour, from punk to country, and hometown heroes to Polaris prize winners.

Oh my gosh the burning hell. Swoon swoon swoon.
Super excited to see Fucked Up, however, I am just overly excited for the whole festival. Lots bands this year that I will be hearing for my first time. It’s pretty awesome being given the opportunity to hear all of these musicians that I probably would never hear of otherwise!
Cannot wait to see GALA!

The Burning Hell! Always an incredible show.
Fucked up and Pet Vet!!!!
Definitely The Burning Hell, we’ve never been in town at the same time!
Can’t wait to see monomyth filled woth old halifax pals i haven’t beenable to see them live yet but their band camp proves they’re still writing and preforming wonder/amazement and jam packed fun!
The Burning Hell!
Stoked to see Gala!!
I caught Gala opening for Hey Rosetta! and I’d love to see them again!
Gala is super wicked. But they’ve never opened for Hey Rosetta. I mean like half the band IS Hey Rosetta, and Tim Baker produces this band. But still. Yah. They’ve never opened for HR!
Goooooo By Divine Right!
Gala opened two hey rosetta shows at the rockhouse about a month ago
Diana
Fog Lake!!
Fucked Up, By Divine Right, Burning Hell and Mr. Supper.
Fucked Up will be amazing to see. Saw them at HPX and it was incredible. Also looking forward to the Burning Hell, I always miss their shows becasue i am out of town.
After watching the reel I’m psyched for Kappa Chow and The Famines, but am looking forward to Green & Gold, The Burning Hell, and By Devine Right too.
KAPPA! CHOW! KAPPA! CHOW! punk as fuck
Coach Longlegs.
my body shivers at the mere thought of seeing burning hell in the flesh 😉
can’t wait to see the burning hell!!!
For me, The Burning Hell, By Divine Right and Nick Ferrio.
I’m not familiar with much of the lineup, so I’m looking forward to making new discoveries. Never seen Burning Hell live, so that ought to be a highlight.
rockin’ to some Monomyth — thrashin’ to some Fucked Up
YES, THE BURNING HELL. Even though they are (loosely) based out of St. John’s, I’ve never heard them live. So it’s about time I get the chance!
Fucked up!
Really looking forward to Monsterbator, Green & Gold, The Lurks, Pet Vet and of course, Fucked Up!
Gala! Most definitely.
I’ve been dying to see Fucked Up for years so you can only imagine how stoked I was to see their name on the bill.
oh it’ll be so lovely lovely to see burning hell again!
The Burning Hell!
Really looking forward to seeing Fucked Up for the first time, equally excited to see By Divine Right, The Burning Hell (also for the first time), Monsterbator, and a lot of bands I’ve never heard before, if they’re playing the fest, they’ll be good.
By Devine Right!
This years line-up looks awesome! I haven’t seen By Divine Right since they played the Peace-a-Chord – can’t wait!
