Irish Eurovision legends to feature on RTÉ programme this weekend

Ireland may not be in Saturday night's Eurovision grand final but RTÉ will televise a concert featuring Irish Eurovision legends before the action gets underway in Liverpool.

The programme, which will run for just over an hour, is named 'Marty Whelan's Eurovision Legends'.

The show includes performances from former Irish Eurovision Song Contest champions, including two-time winner Johnny Logan.

Ireland has won the competition a record seven times but has not qualified for the grand final in the last five years. Wild Youth represented the country this year with their entry 'We Are One' but failed to get through Tuesday's semi-final.

Marty Whelan's Eurovision Legends can be watched on RTÉ One at 6.55pm on Saturday before the 2023 Eurovision grand final gets underway on the same channel at 8pm.
