The final episode of the series sees Jools chatting to special guests who choose their favourite moments from the extensive Later… archive, as well as inviting artists to perform at his unique and intimate recording studio or from interesting places around the UK.\n\nJools chats to queen of pop Kylie Minogue ahead of the release of her new album Disco: Guest List Edition, which sees her reworking her 2020 Disco LP to include a star-studded cast of guest features from the likes of Gloria Gaynor to Dua Lipa. Kylie also shares her favourite performances from the Later… archive, which include Jessie Ware.\n\nCompleting the line-up on the show are three unique performances. There are two debuts, the first from post-punk Leeds band Yard Act, who perform the title track from their upcoming debut album The Overload from their local venue, the Brudenell Social Club. The second debut comes from Swiss-Sri Lankan rising star Priya Ragu, who uses her mother tongue of Tamil in her songs, as well as creating her own genre that she refers to as ‘Ragu Wavy’.
