(Credit: Carnivore Style)

Take a look outside. Know what that is? That’s BBQ weather.

With the sun set to keep on shining through the weekend, and the temperature looking like it will hang around the mid-20s, there’s no better time to get out and fire up the barbie.

Good quality meats and a steady grilling hand are essential, but aside from that, you’ll also need some killer tunes to play while you’re cooking.

Here, we’ve put together a ready-made summer BBQ playlist, packed full with all the songs you need to get the good vibes going.

Naturally, we’ve got plenty of disco and funk on there — everyone from Chic and James Brown to Kool and the Gang. But there’s plenty more to enjoy, whether that’s The Beatles and The Rolling Stones or Dua Lipa and AJ Tracey.

Before you get started, be sure to check out these BBQ recipes from some of London’s top chefs. Then, turn on the gas, crank up the sound system, and let the good times roll.
