The Late Late Show audience will have their say on Ireland's Eurovision representative as viewers will be able to cast their vote and the winner will be decided by a combination of that public vote, an international jury and a national jury.
The six acts who will compete in this Friday's Eurosong Late Late Show special are ADGY with Too Good for your Love, Connolly with Midnight Summer Night, Wild Youth with We are One, Leila Jane with Wild, K Muni & ND,K Muni & ND, Kofi Appiah and Nevlonne Dampare with Down in the Rain, and Public Image Limited with Hawaii.
"This Friday is going to have a big, bright and sparkly line-up of acts," Late Late Show host Ryan Tubridy said ahead of Friday night.
"Big stars, big numbers and big expectations because this could well be Ireland’s chance to reclaim their title as Eurovision winners. So, I would say get ready to party and join us for what should be quite the extravaganza."
Liverpool will play host to this year's Eurovision Song Contest on behalf of last year's winner's Ukraine, with the final of the competition set to take place at the Liverpool Arena on Saturday, May 13. The semi-finals are scheduled for Tuesday, May 9, when Ireland's representative will first perform, and Thursday, May 11.
