Djo – the musical project of actor/producer/songwriter Joe Keery – released his wildly beloved third record The Crux, last year via Awal. The album release found Djo surpassing 4 billion streams across his catalogue, earning his first #1 at Alt Radio with “Basic Being Basic, ” and
“Delete Ya” currently climbing the charts. His viral hit “End of Beginning” made another historic comeback, and has since gone 3x Platinum after spending 33 Days at #1 on the Spotify Global Daily Chart. Djo earned his first GRAMMY nomination (for Best Album Cover), made his Glastonbury and Coachella debuts, sold out a massive international tour which included a triumphant return to Chicago in front of a 75,000-person crowd at Lollapalooza, and received wide-spread critical acclaim, such as The Crux named to Best Of 2025 lists from Rolling Stone, Spin and Entertainment Weekly, and more. He also released a whopping 12-track deluxe album this Fall.
Following the culmination of a fully sold-out global tour, Djo looks ahead to 2026, announcing a run of headline dates this summer including shows at Forest Hills Stadium in New York, NY, Stage AE Outdoor in Pittsburgh, PA, Thompson’s Point in Portland, ME, Artpark Amphitheater in Lewiston, NY, and Allianz Amphitheater at Riverfront in Richmond, VA.

“The Crux marks the arrival of a fully formed artist who’s only just getting started” – Rolling Stone
“bona fide phenomenal” – Paste Magazine
“Djo is a long-term investment that’s already paying dividends: new album The Crux stretches its creative ambition outward, as Keery tinkers with alt-pop idiosyncrasies, makes room for moments of hushed beauty, and upends anyone pigeonholing him into one song, sound or medium.” – Billboard
“Joe Keery clearly has great taste and can turn a clever phrase” – NPR
“Keery’s vocals sound especially great on this intimate, breezy ballad…he’s leaning into a more timeless sound” – Stereogum
Pond
Originally formed in the turn of the 2010’s, as “a Royal Trux-cum-Cream power trio,” fronted by Allbrook with Jay Watson and Joe Ryan, Pond added Jamie Terry shortly afterwards, with James Ireland later rounding out the irrepressible five-piece. Ever prolific, Pond boasts an impressive nine studio albums in their ever expanding repertoire.
Pond possesses an ever-expanding performance resumé, having toured with Arctic Monkeys, MGMT and Flaming Lips. They have stunned at premiere musical festivals around the world including Glastonbury, Coachella, Primavera, Bonnaroo, Reading and Leeds, The Governors Ball, South by Southwest, St Jerome’s Laneway and Splendour in the Grass. Most recently they delivered an iconic set at Desert Daze.
POND’s highly anticipated tenth album Stung! in out now. As versatile and inquisitive as ever, Stung! features some of Pond’s most glorious rock songs yet as well as some of their least rock moments, all psychedelic drapery or funk vim. The wonderfully sprawling record moves with verve and aplomb as Pond turn unexpected musical corners.
