Mt. Joy 2026: Celebrating 10 Years Of Mt. Joy
Mt. Joy marks a decade since forming with a performance celebrating the Philadelphia indie-rock band’s catalog, growth, and years on the road. The group is known for its energetic stage presence, roots-influenced instrumentation, and songs including “Silver Lining,” “Jenny Jenkins,” “Lemon Tree,” “Strangers,” “Highway Queen,” and “She Wants to Go Dancing.”
Formed in 2016, Mt. Joy has released three albums—*Mt. Joy* (2018), *Rearrange Us* (2020), and *Orange Blood* (2022)—as well as the 2025 EP *Hope We Have Fun*. The band’s touring milestones include sold-out performances at Madison Square Garden, the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, TD Garden, and Forest Hills Stadium, along with a 70-date North American and European headline tour that sold more than 180,000 tickets.
