Epic Pirate Music – 2025 Playlist: Ship Battles, Instrumentals

I curate playlists on multiple music platforms including Spotify, YouTube Music, Deezer and Tidal.

After Epic Ⅰ & Epic Ⅱ, this is my dedicated page for my third epic playlist, Epic Ⅲ: the epic pirate playlist aka “Epic Pirates Folk/Celtic”.

I removed the sea shanty section, which was a small one at the end of the playlist. Shanties will come back later in the form of a World playlist (with a lot more shanties than what was in this playlist). This only affects standalone shanties (singing only), other type of shanties that are part of songs like the Gangplank one will remain in the playlist.

Below you’ll find details on my playlist’s genres, subgenres and general information. To delve deeper into the specifics, head to the second section of the page where you can find a list of songs and their corresponding artists, organized by genre categories.

Epic Pirate Music

Theme

The playlist has multiple themes but they all fall under the overarching pirate theme.

My playlist features a diverse range of epic and dark folk music that complement each other seamlessly. The selection includes music from Irish and Scottish traditions, as well as Celt feasts and tavern parties that serve as a celebration of successful sea plunders and village raids.
