Hey Sonos Community! 👋

 

As summer has officially kicked off, I'm already enjoying sunny days, long evenings, and, of course, the perfect soundtrack to go along with it all. I'm heading off on my summer vacation soon, and I'm starting to curate a summer playlist for the trip. But I realized, who better to ask for inspiration than this incredible community of music lovers?

Every summer has those defining songs – the ones that instantly gets you in the right mood for the summer. Whether it's a chill poolside vibe, an energetic track for a road trip, or something perfect for a backyard BBQ, I'm all ears.

So, I want to hear from you all what songs you got to share with us.
What are your absolute go-to summer anthems? Are there any new tracks you've discovered this year that just scream "summer" to you? Do you have different summer songs for different activities (e.g., relaxing, working out, entertaining), or do you have a classic summer hit that never gets old for you?

To kick things off, here is a Danish one that (even if you don’t understand the lyrics) has that nice summer sound to it.
Tobias Rahim & Andreas Odbjerg - STOR MAND

 

Let's build the ultimate Sonos Community Summer Playlist together! Share your favorites in the comments below, and tell us a little bit about why these songs make your summer complete. I can't wait to see what everyone's listening to!

This is the perfect post for all our friends in the southern hemisphere!

There are some of my liked songs to listen to in the summer, I tried to put all the links in lnk.to to send you to all platforms but it was difficult to find so almost all are on Spotify. :)

If you like it enjoy it, if not I have so much more (That rhymed)

Another one of my favorite summer anthems.

 

 


Definitely not an interesting posts evidently..few replies.. 😂


Steal My Sunshine by Len.


It’s pure nostalgia for me, it reminds me of going to the beach with my brothers and friends as a kid and hearing this song on the radio, good memories, still f***ing love this song many years later.

Though, in retrospect, the name of the band seems somewhat unfortunate, this song embodies summer for me:


Here’s a Spotify link: 

 


Hey ​@Mike R. H. 

You’re (hopefully) already long gone and on your way to Norway.

Here's my summer song for the playlist.

 


Hi ​@Mike R. H. 

Got a couple of Jamiroquai songs for you here:

 


Since it’s July now and the rain just set in again in Scotland, must go with something that reminds me of those sunny days in June - almost distant memories now ...

 


Chicane - Offshore - with Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra

Video shows the making of the track.

 


Hard to imagine not listening to this classic from Mungo Jerry:

 

 


@Airgetlam 

Can I double thumbs up??

(Also, “Have a drink, have a drive...” - not so much in 2025!)


lol. Yea, there are lots of inappropriate comments in that text, but for a happy, summer feeling, the music carries me back a bit ;)


I’m sure this will come off as both lazy and shill-ish, but I’ve mostly been listening to Sonos Radio - High Dive at home lately.    On the commute to and from work, It’s been a lot of Cyndi Lauper, Duran Duran, Thompson Twins, and Nine Inch Nails.

Work has been a little chaotic lately.


Hey! Love the vibe you're setting nothing beats a great summer playlist! I’ll definitely share some of my go-to tracks; can’t wait to see what others recommend too!


Loving the summer vibes, Mike! One of my go-to tracks this year is Kygo - Dancing Feet perfect for beach days and late-night drives.


Steve Winwood - Higher Love

Reckless Love - Hot
