There’s no season more welcome than the start of summer. Brighter days, warmer temperatures and more time outdoors results in an uplifted mood and a general lust for life. It also helps when you have a stellar summer playlist – the kind that draws on golden classics and modern hits alike to really add a healthy dose of that feel-good feeling we all love. Here at Time Out, our team of writers and editors have you covered when it comes to the most essential summer anthems. From a Bill Withers staple to some Sabrina Carpenter sparkle, our playlist of the best summer songs captures all the fun, warmth and mood-lifting magic you want when it comes to soundtracking your summer months.

Whether you’ve got the voice of an angel or you’re totally tone deaf, karaoke unites us all. But heed our warning: choosing the right song is crucial (aka, don’t opt for that Whitney Houston tune if you haven’t the range. And if you don't have good enough flow, steer clear of rapping. Kapeesh?) So we thought we’d help out a little bit. In our list of the best karaoke songs ever, we’ve got everyone from Adele to Toto, and from Frank Sinatra to Ricky Martin. There's even recent singalongs from Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan. Something for everyone. So down that shot, grab that mic and take to the stage. Your audience awaits you. Here are the best karaoke songs ever.  RECOMMENDED:❤️ The best love songs☀️ The best summer songs🎉 The best party songs🕺 The best albums of 2025 so far  

We’re only a few months through the year and our auditory canals have already been graced with some absolutely cracking new music. We have had the long-awaited Gaga comeback (complete with a slickly choreographed, suitably weird music vid), FKA Twigs’s ethereal vocals taking on the club, high energy rap from Bad Bunny and much more.  Time Out writers and editors have rounded up our favourite music releases of the year so far, and we’ll continue adding to the list as more excellent records inevitably come in (we’re anticipating new releases from Lana Del Rey, A$AP Rocky and Harry Styles – as well as Addison Rae’s album debut, finally). So dig in, and keep coming back to this list throughout the year to refresh your listening with more fresh finds.   Chiara Wilkinson is Time Out’s Deputy UK Editor.

Love St Patrick’s Day? Well, we’ve got news for you. March 17 isn’t just about drinking gallons of Guinness and fighting your way through screaming crowds dressed in green (although, that is a big part). St Patrick’s Day has actually been around since 1631, and there’s a lot about Ireland’s complex history to be learned from it.  There’s a million and one brilliant songs for Paddy’s Day – from traditional folk songs to belters by The Cranberries, and iconic hits from Enya to modern classics by Hozier and Fontaines D.C. Some of them can teach you a lot about the history of St Paddy’s, but all of them will make you want to sing along. For such a small island, Ireland is a major player when it comes to producing timeless classics and giving birth to genuine superstars. With that in mind, we’ve rounded up the 21 very best Irish tunes to get those pipes going, ahead of 2025’s upcoming celebrations. Go grab a Guinness – it’s time to get green, folks.
