Yawpfest!

Femme Punk Music Festival

Yawpfest! is a three-day riot grrrl revival shaking the walls of Vancouver’s historic Commodore Ballroom. Loud, scrappy, and femme-led, it’s an immersive alt-music festival for women sick of sitting down and hushing up. If kids called you bossy, you’ll like this one. With high-decibel live shows revelling in rowdy sisterhood, Yawpfest! is a jubilant, unifying scream.

Scream, shout, stomp, YAWP!

Yawpfest! recaptures punk’s angriest, fiercest roots for a new generation of misfits. No getting sidelined in the mosh pit. The brand taps into a shared hunger for catharsis, community, and volume. It’s a middle finger to the idea that softness is all femininity can be and an invitation to let it all out.

Calling back to riot grrrl zines of the early 1990s, Yawpfest! is visually angsty, gritty, and collage-inspired. The typography is tall and roaring, and the colours riot with a feminine edge. The poster comes alive with AR/augmented reality, built with Adobe Aero. It tears itself down and builds back up again.

Yawpfest! is a rallying cry for loud hearts and proud voices—together, we yawp!
