Ed Sheeran, who this week won a court victory following a plagiarism claim, will be the main guest on Friday night's Late Late Show.
Viewers will hear the singer/songwriter, who missed his grandmother Anne's funeral held in Monaseed in Co Wexford because of the trial, talk about his newly released album.
The interview by Ryan Tubridy, recorded during Sheeran's last visit to Dublin, will be broadcast over two parts. He was interviewed surrounded by fans and delivers acoustic performances of his singles Perfect and Eyes Closed, RTE said.
He also speaks about the death of a close friend, Jamal Edwards, and his wife Cherry's cancer diagnosis last year.
The interview was recorded prior to this week's New York jury verdict in his favour. Sheeran was accused of using parts of the Marvin Gaye classic Let's Get it On in his hit single Thinking Out Loud.
In a eulogy at the funeral of his grandmother Anne Sheeran, better known as Nancy, Sheeran's father John said: "‘I am very sad that our son Edward is unable to be here today. He’s so upset that he cannot be present – he has to be thousands of miles away in a court in America defending his integrity."
Monaghan's Caitríona Balfe will be in studio to talk about the success of the historical drama Outlander, now in its seventh season. She will also speak about her fight for better working conditions for models and filming Kenneth Branagh's Belfast.
Dublin GAA star Philly McMahon, comedian Rory O'Connor (Rory Stories) and governor of Mountjoy Prison Edward Mullins will also appear to talk about the new RTE series Gaelic in the Joy, which follows prisoners involved in rehabilitation programmes.
There will also be a celebration to mark the 50th anniversary of the Ireland women’s soccer team ahead of the historic appearance at the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
