“We Are in the Good Old Days” 49th & Main Announce Debut Album ‘Happy Tears,’ Capturing the Rush of Young Adulthood

March 27, 2025

Alongside their biggest UK/EU tour to date including a London Kentish Town Forum

“49th & Main may have exactly what you’re after. Boosted by a live saxophone, the group have the crowd in the palm of their hand, blasting out euphoric bangers punctuated with snippets of huge floor-filling dance tracks. Think Boiler Room if it took place on a kid’s TV show.”

Fresh off a sold-out North American tour, Irish duo 49th & Main continue their streak of successes with the announcement of their debut album. Happy Tears is set for release via digital and vinyl on June 13th via Counter Records (Ninja Tune) & is led by new single Mr Rain out now.

With over 200 million streams, 2.2 million monthly Spotify listeners, multiple BBC Radio 1 – backed releases & listed in the NME 100, the pair have become one of the most popular acts in music coming from Ireland and sit at the forefront of indie-electronic music globally. But this is only a fraction of their story…

“With kaleidoscopic, adventurous energy and the pop sensibilities of something more likely to trouble the top of the charts, they’ve hit upon a brilliant hybrid”
