Ireland's six Eurovision hopefuls battle it out on tonight's (Feb 3) Late Late Show

A special competition will take place among Ireland's six Eurovision hopefuls on tonight's (February 3) Late Late Show. 

Viewers at home will cast votes for their favourite song and help to decide who will represent Ireland in Liverpool this May at the 67th Eurovision Song Contest. 

The six acts competing tonight include ADGY (Too Good for your Love), CONNOLLY (Midnight Summer Night), Wild Youth (We are One), Leila Jane (Wild), K Muni & ND, Kofi Appiah and Nevlonne Dampare (Down in the Rain), and Public Image Limited (Hawaii).

The six songs were selected from hundreds of entries received by RTÉ. 
 
Host of The Late Late Show Eurosong Special, Ryan Tubridy, said, "This Friday is going to have a big, bright and sparkly line up of acts. 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." 
  
Eurovision commentator Marty Whelan will capture all the backstage action throughout the show as the Green Room correspondent, and Ryan will be joined in studio by an expert Eurovision panel. 
  
Liverpool will host the 67th Eurovision Song Contest on behalf of Ukraine, and the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 will take place in the Liverpool Arena next to the River Mersey on Saturday, May 13, with Semi-Finals on Tuesday 9 and Thursday 11. 

Ireland - which still holds the records for most Eurovision wins with a tally of seven victories - will compete in the first half of the first semi-final in Liverpool on May 9. 
  
The Late Late Eurosong Special will air on RTÉ One tonight at 9.35pm.
