Adele is one of the biggest music stars in the world and she got treatment fitting that profile as she gave a primetime concert, Adele One Night Only, on CBS Sunday, Nov. 14. As part of the buildup to the release of Adele’s new album, 30, the special also saw the superstar singer sit down with Oprah Winfrey for an exclusive interview.

While this CBS concert was exclusively shown for U.S. audiences (though we’ll detail a workaround for that later), Adele also has planned another TV concert for her native U.K. on ITV, An Audience With Adele.

Excited? Here is everything you need to know about Adele One Night Only.

When is ‘Adele One Night Only’?

Adele One Night Only aired on CBS in primetime Sunday, Nov. 14. The concert and interview were pre-tapped, with the concert taking place at Griffith Park in Los Angeles.

What is the ‘Adele One Night Only’ setlist?

Adele One Night Only came in advance of the release of her first album in six years, 30, which is releasing on Nov. 19. We’ve already been treated to the first new song from the album, “Easy on Me,” but we heard four more of her brand new songs as part of this primetime special.

The official setlist features classic Adele songs “Hello,” “Skyfall,” “Someone Like You,” “Rolling in the Deep,” “Make You Feel My Love”  and “When We Were Young,” as well as new songs “Easy on Me,” “I Drink Wine,” “Hold On” and “Love Is a Game.”

Adele interview with Oprah

For as big a star as Adele is, she is not one who puts herself into the spotlight all that much when she isn’t promoting her work. Which is why the chance to have her sit down and do an interview with Oprah Winfrey as part of Adele One Night Only is so enticing.

From the same rose garden that Winfrey famously interviewed Prince Harry and Megan Markle, Adele sat down with the media mogul and discuss her new album, the stories behind the songs, life after divorce, weight loss and raising her son. 

Is there an 'Adele One Night Only' trailer?

CBS has released a preview trailer for Adele One Night Early, which shows a bit of Adele's interview with Oprah, some clips of her performances and some of the guests that were in attendance. Watch below.
