Overview
Following the breakout success of their 2025 album Hope We Have Fun, Mt. Joy has announced additional dates on their North American tour for 2026. The summer run, billed as Mt. Joy: Celebrating 10 Years of Mt. Joy, is being approached with an emphasis on accessibility, and $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to charity, with the 2026 beneficiary to be announced soon.
The Philadelphia group has emerged as one of America’s most beloved live acts, known for blending euphoric, anthemic folk-rock with deeply human storytelling. Their album Hope We Have Fun captured this balance seamlessly, debuting in the Top 10 on Spotify’s U.S. Album Chart and landing multiple songs across AAA Radio’s Top 10, including “Highway Queen (feat. Maren Morris)” and “She Wants to Go Dancing.”
Mt. Joy’s touring continues to be a driver of meaningful impact nationwide. The band has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to organizations including the ACLU and Family Reach, hosted non-perishable food drives at shows, and made visits to children’s hospitals while on the road. Through direct ticket donations, benefit concerts, exclusive merch collaborations, and creative nonprofit partnerships, Mt. Joy has raised over $700,000 for charity since 2022, using their platform to inspire empathy, awareness, and action.
Their philanthropic ethos continues into this next chapter: the band recently released a new stripped back version of “Lucy,” the original raising $23,437 for the American Brain Tumor Association, contributing to the nearly $500,000 raised for charity on this album cycle alone. The heartfelt track, and its new stripped version, has become a symbol of the band’s commitment to pairing purpose with music in ways that resonate far beyond the stage.
The Philadelphia and Los Angeles based band—Matt Quinn [vocals, guitar], Sam Cooper [guitar], Sotiris Eliopoulos [drums], Jackie Miclau [keys, piano], and Michael Byrnes [bass]— take their name from the quiet and rural National Park in Southwest Pennsylvania, about four hours from their Philadelphia base. Forming in 2016, they made their mark two years later when their self-titled Mt. Joy (2018) debut album spun off platinum single "Silver Lining," an uplifting power ballad that went to #1 at AAA radio (Billboard Adult Alternative Airplay) and has eclipsed over 240 million streams across platforms. Their second album, Rearrange Us (2020) drew widespread critical raves, with title track gaining 92 million Spotify streams since the release. Their third LP, Orange Blood (2022), came out of the pandemic and further cemented them with another #1, Lemon Tree, at AAA and a 70 date headline tour that sold over 180K tickets. Over the past five years, Mt. Joy has amassed over half a billion streams and earned acclaim from NPR, Billboard, Rolling Stone, The Line of Best Fit, and more. Throughout their career, the band has performed at a variety of festivals such as Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Bonnaroo.
