"It is exciting to have live music return to the stage this year, and with almost 40 artists, it's the biggest lineup we have had in the venue’s history," said Kyle Corner, manager of Stampede programming. "This year we are excited to put the spotlight on home-grown talent with an all-Canadian lineup of artists, making this music experience like no other."
Entry to Nashville North is free with Calgary Stampede admission but 'Buck the Line' ticket packages may be purchased to forego the line.
