Cork comedian Kyla Cobbler and former Munster rugby star Simon Zebo are among the guests on tonight’s Late Late Show.

Cobbler, recently announced her first pregnancy, will be joined by Zebo, singer-songwriter Bob Geldof, Spandau Ballet star Gary Kemp and UK comedian James Acaster.

Host Patrick Kielty will speak to Bob Geldof about the impact and legacy of Live Aid, the iconic event that took place on July 13, 1985.

The concert, which was watched by more than 1.5 billion people, raised millions for hunger and poverty.

Geldof will look back at the events leading up to Live Aid, his favourite behind-the-scenes memories and how it felt to see the story transformed into the Olivier-nominated musical Just For One Day, which will come to Ireland next year.

Gary Kemp, who also performed at Live Aid in Wembley Stadium, will share his memories of the day.

Kyla Cobbler on a milestone year 

Kyla Cobbler will join Patrick to discuss her year so far, reflecting on significant milestones in 2026.

These include selling out her upcoming 3Arena show, writing her memoir, getting married and announcing her pregnancy.

James Acaster will discuss life on the dark side of The Traitors, his holidays in Ireland and his new stand-up special.

Finally, Simon Zebo will talk about how, in an ideal world, he would have been playing county hurling for Cork, how a clash with Joe Schmidt landed him in Paris, and why his love of Munster runs so deep.

The Late Late Show will air on RTÉ One and the RTÉ Player from 9.35pm.
