DJ Dave Treacy will present a new dance show from 8pm-10pm with the latest tracks, guest mixes and interviews.
The Spring Sessions will air from 10pm through to midnight. White Noise with Dave Clarke will run from 12am-1am with Late Night Sessions airing from 1am on Sunday morning.
On Sundays at 6pm, The Request Show with Conor Behan will let the listeners take charge over the course of two hours.

He will be followed by chilled sessions on The Greene Room with Jenny Greene from 10pm-12am. After midnight, Cormac Battle will round off the weekend with the best of rock, indie and dance until 2am.
Dan Healy, Head of RTÉ Digital Audio and RTÉ 2FM, said: "The weekend schedule is a blend of emerging and new voices to Irish radio.
"The exciting thing about our emerging voices is that they are homegrown. Laura Fox, Emma Power and Aifric O'Connell have been on 2FM for the last number of years, and also broadcast for RTÉ Pulse and RTÉ 2XM.
"We are thrilled that Roz Purcell is joining the weekend team, broadcasting with Emma Power.
"2FM will also have an exciting night-time schedule that is also being revamped with Jenny Greene, Dave Treacy, Conor Behan, Mo K, DJ Wax and Beta Da Silva.
"Now that we have bedded in our weekday schedule, which would appear from the most recent listenership results to be going well, we are focusing on weekends."
