“Nashville” isn’t airing on Nov. 5, but country fans are probably OK with ABC replacing the hit drama with the 48th Annual Country Music Association Awards. The CMA Awards, advertised as “country music’s biggest night,” will air live at 8 p.m. EST.

Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley will host the event at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, and plenty of artists will keep them company. Presenters include Lilly Aldridge, Darius Rucker, Lee Brice, Brandy Clark, Brett Eldredge, Martina McBride, Kip Moore, Connie Britton, Garth Brooks, Lucy Hale, Tim Tebow, Steven Tyler and Trisha Yearwood.

A night celebrating music has to have some great musical performances, and the CMAs will pack a bunch into the three-hour ceremony. Performers include the Doobie Brothers, Hunter Hayes, Jennifer Nettles, Michael McDonald, Thomas Rhett, Cole Swindell, Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Florida Georgia Line, Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Tim McGraw, Kacey Musgraves, Brad Paisley, Ashley Monroe, The Band Perry and Underwood. Ariana Grande and Megan Trainor will also perform, despite not typically performing country music.

And we'll get to see performances by all the nominees for the Entertainer of the Year award: Luke Bryan, George Strait, Keith Urban, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert. No one knows who will win, but Billboard is predicting Lambert will take home the coveted award. She and Bryan are the only nominees in the category who have never won Entertainer of the Year before. But even if she loses, Lambert could still have a big night. She is nominated for CMA Awards in seven different categories this year, and Rolling Stone predicted she will win at least half of those.

For a live stream of the CMA Awards, fans can download the Watch ABC app. The app also gives fans exclusive access to backstage footage, as well as the red carpet pre-show, which starts two hours before the ceremony. Fans can go to ABC’s website to watch live as well. However, not everyone can watch the live stream of the 2014 CMA Awards; viewers need to have a participating TV provider account and be in Chicago, Fresno, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Raleigh-Durham or San Francisco.
