Here are all the child performers, bands and acts lined up for the The Late Late Toy Show tonight

Paul Moore

Late Late Toy Show

Some might be from your town. We wish them all the very best of luck.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year as the Late Late Toy Show rolls into town for another year of Christmas fun and nostalgia. As always, we’re expecting toys to break down, kids to crash their bikes into the cameras, rapping farmers and budding horologists.

This year’s theme has been inspired by The Greatest Showman and given that the Toy Show is one of the biggest – if not THE biggest – TV events of the year in Ireland, it’s only fitting that the best up and coming musical talent in the country is showcased.

The countdown is nearly over as, while tickets to the actual event are rarer than hen’s teeth, we can watch all the action unfold when the show starts at 9.35pm.

As far as the actual lineup of guests is concerned, who the hell knows?

All will be revealed a little later on, but until then, we’re going to predict a lineup of Barack Obama, Twink, Tom Cruise, Dustin the Turkey, Lionel Messi and Johnny Logan.

Of course, this is the only Late Late Show of the year when the children really are the stars of the show and after being treated to some precious moments down the years, we’re certain that some younger stars are going to have their time to shine.

On this note, there are plenty of singers, dancers, performers, bands, choirs, and much more appearing on tonight’s show, so without further ado, here’s what’s in store for tonight’s entertainment.

We hope that they all have a blast.
