Click Here for the Full PMF Lineup Our Genre is Philly. Each year we gather and celebrate a beautiful and talented music scene, but Philly Music Fest is a bit different than typical music festivals. By structuring Philly Music Fest as a non-profit and organizing the festival ourselves, we eliminate the need to pay producers and promoters. The result is that we pay our musicians well, host our shows only at independently-owned venues and then donate profits to local music programs educating the next great generation of Philly musicians. You can help. When you buy a ticket to a PMF show, your money goes directly to the musicians and venues, then PMF donates profits to music education programs. In addition to buying tickets, we welcome donations of any amount - big or small. Together we can support Philly’s music community, present and future.

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.
