After six years on our airways, Tara Kumar will be saying farewell to 2FM.
The DJ who manned the station every night Sunday to Thursday from 7pm, will be relocating to London to pursue her career.
Speaking about her departure, Tara said: “This show has been my constant for the last few years, and I am so grateful for all of the incredible artists I’ve had the honour of playing, interviewing and discovering. Ireland is so full of so much talent and I’m so proud of how thriving the music industry is today.
“Music has always and will continue to forever be my first love. Thank you to every single person who has trusted me. So now, it’s time for a new adventure in London. Slán go fóill a chairde.”
Head of RTÉ 2FM, Dan Healy said: “We are very sad Tara is leaving 2FM and yet very excited for her as she makes her way in London. Tara’s show on 2FM was a must-listen for anyone curious about new and good music. Tara is a taste maker and will fly wherever she is.”
Tara will present her final show on Wednesday 28th September and 2FM will announce her replacement in the coming weeks.
She also shared the news on social media writing: “I have some news…After 6 years in the building and 3 years on the new music show I’ve decided I am leaving @RTE2fm…

So now, it’s time for a new adventure in London (my nearest refuse to do a leaving party because they know I’ll be home every 5 mins)…”
