Filmed in Las Vegas, the special provides an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at some of country music’s top stars in the lead-up to “The 58th Annual CMA Awards.” Country Music’s Biggest Night™, hosted by Luke Bryan, Peyton Manning and Lainey Wilson, airs live from Nashville on Wednesday, Nov. 20, on ABC and the next day on Hulu.

The special features moments with Jason Aldean, who sits down for a candid discussion on his long career history in Vegas from his new Jason Aldean Kitchen+Bar Vegas location and surprises first responders from 2017’s Route 91 Harvest Festival with an intimate performance.
