Mayo's Garron Noone to help ring in new year on The Late Late Show
FRESH from his magical Christmas in Kilmainham performance, Garron Noone is set to enthral audiences again when he joins a sparkling line-up on RTÉ for New Year's Eve.
The Late Late Show will close out 2025 in spectacular fashion as Patrick Kielty hosts a glittering New Year’s Eve show filled with music, laughter and a look back at the unforgettable moments from the year gone by.
And adding energy to the celebrations, comic-musician Garron Noone will join forces with The Stunning for a performance guaranteed to knock audiences’ socks off. And the Mayo funnyman will also be chatting with Patrick, so even more to look forward to there.
Audiences can look forward to standout performances from David Gray, including iconic hit 'Babylon', while Lyra will bring her powerhouse vocals to a stunning rendition of 'Edge of Seventeen'. Gavin James will captivate viewers with songs including 'Storm Warning', while Cork-based band Cliffords showcase their unique sound with 'My Favourite Monster' after a break-through year.
The evening will also showcase special collaborations that promise to be highlights of the night. Renowned musician Sharon Shannon will team up with Irish singer Lucia Evans and The Late Late Show House Band throughout the night promising lively performances. Scott Gorham pays tribute to Irish rock legend Phil Lynott, followed by a rendition of 'Old Town' by The Stunning, who then join forces with Garron.
Adding to the sparkle of the night, Irish heptathlete Kate O’Connor, Olympic rower Fintan McCarthy, architect Dermot Bannon and cast members from the hit series Traitors Ireland will join Patrick for lively conversations.
Lyra, Garron Noone and David Gray will also set aside the microphones to catch up with Patrick, ensuring a mix of entertainment, performance and chat throughout the show.
The festivities will culminate with a live countdown from Dublin Castle, where Inhaler will take to the stage to welcome 2026 in front of a jubilant audience. Presenter Kayleigh Trappe will stand by as the nation counts down together to the new year as a spectacular fireworks display lights up Dublin Castle.
Host Patrick Kielty said: “It’s going to be a night of music, laughter and celebration as we look back on the year gone by and look forward to what’s ahead. We can’t wait to ring in 2026 with everyone watching at home and the crowd at Dublin Castle.”
