Backyard Music Co. is bringing The Nashville Takeover to town – a three day, town wide experience that transforms Moncton into a hub for original songwriting, storytelling, and community connection. This is not a traditional music festival. It is a takeover.

The Nashville Takeover is a curated cultural experience that partners with multiple venues and spaces across town, activating them with intimate, ticketed songwriter performances. For one weekend, music does not live on a single stage. It lives throughout the town, creating a shared experience that supports local venues, drives foot traffic, and generates a meaningful cultural and economic impact.

After the success of previous takeovers in Port Stanley and Collingwood, Moncton was selected from hundreds of towns across Canada for its strong cultural identity, engaged downtown core, and deep sense of community.
