Friday Night Karaoke in the Twin Cities

Friday is the biggest karaoke night of the week across Minneapolis and St. Paul. It is also the hardest night to get a turn. Here is how to play it.

Friday Night Karaoke in the Twin Cities — Star Music & The Singing Express

Beat the rotation

Get your first slip in within twenty minutes of the start time. On a busy Friday, the rotation can close to new singers before 10 p.m. in the most popular rooms.

Turn in one song at a time unless the host says otherwise, and keep a backup ready in case the track is not in that host's catalog.

Pick songs for a loud, full room

  • Friday crowds are big and distracted. Songs with an instantly recognizable hook land better than deep cuts.
  • Keep it under four minutes when you can — long songs on a packed rotation cost everyone else a turn.
  • Duets and group choruses are Friday gold. Bring a friend up.

Private Friday parties

Friday is our most requested night, so private bookings go early — often weeks out. If you are planning a Friday karaoke party, wedding reception, or company night, call as far ahead as you can.
