Luke Bryan on the ACM Awards' 'Vegas Factor'

The ACM Awards are unlike any other country awards show for two reasons.

One: Luke Bryan and Dierks Bentley bring the party! Two: Las Vegas. Country Music’s Party of the Year turns Sin City upside down every year.

And if the superstar co-hosts have anything to do with it, 2017 will be no different.

“I think the Vegas factor is always very important for the whole vibe of the show. The fans are coming out here, and you can just feel it in the room that everybody is excited to be in Vegas,” Luke tells the ACM’s Tempo magazine. “It feels like a party, and I think it’s kind of up to Dierks and me to create that vibe on stage—create it for the artists in the room and certainly for the fans in the room at home.”

Watch it Sunday, April 2 at 8/7c on CBS.
