70 Perfect Songs for Your Memorial Day Weekend Cookout

Art by Stephany Torres for Remezcla

Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer, a time for bare legs, charred hamburgers, and heavy drinking. To soundtrack the festivities, we’ve put compiled two-and-a-half hours of summer jams guaranteed to help you claim your throne as AUX cord royalty at the barbecue.

This playlist sits somewhere between juicy sweet reggaeton and sun-kissed indie pop; heaters like Ozuna’s “Tu Foto” sit right alongside the happy-go-lucky garage rock of Las Piñas’ “Verano.” There’s also space to slow down here; check the delicate perreo of Arcángel and De La Ghetto’s “Más Que Ayer” or the after-hours cool of Nicola Cruz’s beGun remix.

Press play, stock up hot dogs, and grill to your heart’s content.
