Sonos Community Summer Playlist

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!

 

Update: The Sonos Community Summer Playlists is now live on YouTube, Amazon Music, Apple Music, and Spotify!

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.

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.

Loving all the songs being shared! There were several I'd never heard before. Thanks for broadening my horizon!

I'll add them all to the playlist and share that playlist next week when it's complete. So feel free to keep sharing more songs, and I can get them added even after the playlist is 'done'.

Now, since it's Friday, why not share a nice song that instantly gets me in a vacation/weekend mood, wanting to just kick back and relax with a nice drink in hand:

Love this idea! ☀️ One of my go-to summer tracks is *"Electric Feel"* by MGMT — it has the perfect chill but groovy vibe for the evening. Also loving *"Espresso"* by Sabrina Carpenter this year — full of feel — good energy!
