Djo, aka Joe Keery, has been shaking up the music scene this year, capturing attention with every new milestone. Watching him chase his dreams and finally bask in well-earned recognition fills us with so much joy. Join us as we relive some of Djo’s most unforgettable moments from this incredible year!
The Release Of The Crux
One of the most eagerly-awaited releases this year. We knew this new era of Djo would be big, but we didn’t think it would be this big. This album showcased more of his musical talents and introduced us to the new sound of Djo. His songwriting on this album pulled our heartstrings, and fans found solace in the lyrics. Later in the year, he released The Crux Deluxe as a part two to this era, and we were even more stunned by this release. These two sides of the album combined really proved his range as a musician and that he is an extremely talented songwriter. The Crux era changed the game for Djo, and we know his future is going to be bright.
Coachella, Lollapalooza, And More
Djo has played some of the biggest festivals this year, which is something he hasn’t done in this volume before. He took the stage at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, and All Things Go, to name a few. He drew big crowds at each performance, and his performances were as great as the next. Lollapalooza was a special one for him, though, as he debuted his viral hit ‘End Of Beginning’ when he performed there back in 2022. This year, he came back, and he got to thank Chicago for making his dreams come true.
Completing A World Tour
Immediately after the release of The Crux, the ‘Back On You’ World Tour began. Djo, who had never experienced a tour of this scale before, went all in to celebrate his third album. With friends by his side, he traveled the world doing what he loved. Afterward, they announced the Another Bite tour across North America, perfectly marking the Deluxe release and ending the year.
Collaborating With Post Animal
After nearly ten years apart, Keery reunited with his old bandmates in the studio, crafting a new album together. IRON stands as a tribute to their enduring friendship and the unifying force of music. The project became a heartfelt journey, reflecting on their shared past and honoring the bonds they have built through creativity.
Stranger Things Season 5
On New Year’s Eve, Stranger Things wraps up its fifth and final season. For the past decade, Keery has brought Steve Harrington to life, and now fans will discover the fate awaiting his beloved character. The series has been a cornerstone of Keery’s journey, fueling both his career and his music. While this farewell is tinged with nostalgia, it also promises exciting new beginnings for him.
There’s no doubt Djo has had one of the best years of his music career. So many memories made, goals accomplished, and new experiences. We hope he has seen all the love and appreciation he’s received throughout the year, because he truly deserves all of it. The future is bright for Djo, and we can’t wait to see what next year brings!
