The season 27 finale of Dancing With the Stars airs tonight, in just one, jam-packed episode. Normally, the finale airs in two parts, but this year is different. There will be two performances from each contestant tonight, that are eligible for America’s online votes. There will be a repeat dance and then, of course, the long-awaited freestyle. But, there will be no 24-Hour Fusion Dance, since the finals will air all in one episode.
When it comes to the celebrity guests on the finale, there is a star-studded lineup of musical performers. The Thanksgiving Spectacular opening number will take place with a large parade event and cast-offs from the season will return to participate as well.
For the musical performers, the lineup includes Dan + Shay, Lauren Daigle, Avril Lavigne, John Schneider, Robin Thicke and Tinashe. Schneider and Tinashe were contestants on the show this season. Dan + Shay will be singing their hit song “Speechless”, Daigle will perform her single “You Say”, Avril Lavigne will sing her latest release “Head Above Water”, Schneider will sing “Walk a Mile in My Shows”, Robin Thicke will sing “Living in New York City”, and Tinashe will sing during a big dance number, according to ABC.
