NYE TV GUIDE: Ring in 2023 with star-studded line-up on New Year’s Eve special

Westlife will headline the New Year's Festival in Dublin.

Join Jennifer Zamparelli and a star-studded lineup and ring in 2023 with a bang on the New Year’s Eve Party, 10.15pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.  

Irish rock legends Ash, pop superstar Tom Grennan, singing sensation Lyra, swinging 60’s icon Donovan, the RTÉ Concert Orchestra and other surprise performers will take to the stage and get the party started for 2023! 

Viewers will be treated to a night of music and chat with old school classics, pop bangers and stunning renditions of much-loved hits from emerging new Irish talents and international stars. Irish rock legends Ash will join Jen in studio, as they look back on a career spanning 30 years before a not to be missed performance of Shining Light with the RTE Concert Orchestra.

House band on the night, the Hothouse Flowers will also perform some incredibly uplifting numbers with Clare Sands and the Discovery Gospel Choir. 

Jen will also be joined in studio by a host of special guests including Love Island’s Jack Keating, Eurovision’s Brooke Scullion, Marty Whelan, 2022’s GAA champions, Kerry’s Tik Tokking Fleming Family, Cork actress Demi Isaac Oviawe and more. Viewers can expect plenty of surprises, as Jennifer and her guests reflect on the last 12 months and set new resolutions – with plenty of laughs promised along the way. 

Stay with RTÉ One from 23.45 to join Westlife and Marty Morrissey for countdown celebrations, live from the New Year’s Festival Dublin at North Wall Quay. Fresh off the back of their sellout stadium tour and ‘Home for Christmas’ shows, Westlife will perform some of their best-loved hits as we count down the last minutes of 2022 and ring in the New Year in style!
