The last Late Late Show of the season will air tonight on RTÉ One with a fantastic line-up in place.

The Waterboys, who received a stellar review in the last issue of Hot Press, will appear on tonight's show as musical guests. Ahead of their appearance, read the full review of their latest album, Where The Action Is, by Pat Carty.

In addition to The Waterboys, Luka Bloom will star as a guest on tonight's show, performing the winning tune of Ireland's Favourite Folk Song, which will be revealed just prior.

Oliver Callan will provide political satire in this week's show, in addition to recounting his recent dinner date with members of the British royal family.

Tonight's episode will also pay tribute to 26-year-old Laura Brennan, who was one of Ireland's leading patient advocates and a key HPV vaccine campaigner. Brennan passed away in March after battling terminal cervical cancer for more than a year.

Brennan's family - including her mother Bernie, father Larry and brothers Colin, Fergal and Kevin - will join Late Late Show's host Ryan Tubridy to discuss their loss and the impact Laura had around the country.

Elsewhere on the line-up, the Healy-Rae family makes an appearance to discuss political dynasties and victories at the ballot box following their success in the Kerry elections.

Also appearing on Friday night's show will be brothers Patrick and John Collison, who will talk about Stripe - their online software payments firm that they turned into a business valued at $22 billion. The siblings are expected to explain why Ireland remains so important to their business.
