Sing Along Social has announced an Irish tour with a special theme.
Craic Mechanics at Sing Along Social have been festival favourites for a while now with their singing parties for people who cannot sing, involving audience participation and general good silliness.
After playing Electric Picnic this past weekend, Sing Along Social are taking their Britney and Beyoncé-themed night on a national tour of Ireland.
Which Diva makes you feel stronger? Which brings up those crazy in love feels? Do girls, in fact, run the world? Gather all your Single Ladies to put Love on Top and feel Lucky – especially if you’re not a girl, not yet a woman.

What is Sing Along Social?
The Sing Along Social, hosted by The Craic Mechanics, specialise in singing parties for people who can’t sing. It’s sort of like group karaoke but with no microphones or putting anyone on the spot. It’s about singing at the top of your lungs to your favourite cheesy pop songs in the company of friends and strangers.
It’s sort of like group karaoke, or a chaotic singing party, but you don’t have to practice or know the words or even be able to sing. It’s just about singing along to your favourite songs in the company of friends and strangers.
We have been popping up at parties, festivals and residencies in Ireland, the UK and beyond since 2015. You can find us at our regular pop ups in The Sugar Club in Dublin, or caterwauling alongside crowds at festivals including Body & Soul, All Together Now, Another Love Story, The Electric Picnic, Latitude in UK and Lollapalooza Berlin.
Our vibe is cheesy pop music and guilty pleasures, and we are guided by the holy trinity of Whitney, Mariah and Shania in pretty much everything we do. Some of our favourite songs to sing along to include I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Dancing Queen, Don’t Stop Me Now, I Want It That Way, Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight), The Chain, Uptown Girl, Proud Mary, C’est La Vie, Man! I Feel Like A Woman!, Who Do You Think You Are, I’ve Had The Time Of My Life, and Put Em Under Pressure.
