DJO ☆ – announced a major 2025 tour and will be stopping of at Dublin’s 3Olympia

Djo –  the musical project of actor / producer / songwriter Joe Keery known for his work in blockbuster projects as Stranger Things and Fargo – has just announced his highly anticipated new album The Crux. The follow-up to Djo’s 2022 album DECIDE, which featured the blockbuster hit “End of Beginning,” The Crux will be released on April 4th on AWAL.

Alongside news of the album, Djo has also announced a major 2025 global tour; which includes a show in the 3Olympia Theatre on 1^st June 2025. The Djo – Back On You Tour, will feature Post Animal as support on all North American, UK and EU tour dates.

The Crux was co-produced by Keery and his long-time collaborator Adam Thein. It’s an album of impeccable craftsmanship. Unlike Keery’s previous albums – bedroom recordings centered around synths – The Crux spotlights lush guitars and instrumentation reminiscent of late 60’s and 70’s pop. It’s an album full of loss and yearning, but also one full of wit and gratitude. The album was written all over the world in a particularly fertile period for Keery – where he was grappling with the transience of his other job, being untethered and away from his friends and family. But to make the album he settled into the legendary Electric Lady Studios in his adopted home of New York City. The Crux not only showcases his ambitious scope, but also his skills as a deft multi-instrumentalist and songwriter (all songs were written by Keery or in collaboration with Adam Thein).

The first single “Basic Being Basic,” with Oberheim OB-X8 synths and falsetto refrain, has its final verses shrewdly skewer the (often online) tropes of modern day posturing. “It’s kind of a shot fired to anyone who’s trying to be of the moment,” says Keery.
