Since forming in 2016,  Mt. Joy — comprised of Matt Quinn (vocals, guitar), Sam Cooper (guitar), Jackie Miclau (keys), Sotiris Eliopoulos (drums), and Michael Byrnes (bass) — has put in their 10,000 hours preparing for this very moment.

After nearly a decade of touring and recording three critically acclaimed albums (2018’s Mt. Joy, 2020’s Rearrange Us, and 2022’s Orange Blood), the five-piece reached new heights in 2024, selling out New York’s Madison Square Garden, The Greek Theater in Los Angeles, Denver’s Red Rocks Amphitheater, and more; their 70-date North American and European headline tour sold more than 180,000 tickets. Mt. Joy’s momentum stemmed from years of hard work cultivating an unforgettable stage presence and their laser focus on organic growth.


Now, Mt. Joy sits on the precipice of another breakthrough year, with the release of their
fourth LP, Hope We Have Fun, on May 30. For Quinn, the record speaks directly to the band’s long journey together — &#34;We&#39;ve all worked incredibly hard together and done ridiculous things in sickness and in health. You just kind of look up and you&#39;re at Madison Square Garden with these people, and it makes you emotional — it feels like something you never could have dreamed. The album is a realization that we pushed ourselves into this crazy world, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse. It&#39;s a lot about sticking together in relationships, living a crazy lifestyle and just kinda saying, ‘I hope we have fun.&#39;&#34;
