American singer and actor Joe Keery, who goes by Djo on stage, debuted his Glastonbury festival performance this past weekend on Sunday, June 29. The singer performed on the Woodsies Stage. His set list included tracks from his albums ‘The Crux’ and ‘DECIDE’, including songs ‘Runner’, ‘Gloom’, ‘Gap Tooth Smile’, ‘Charlie’s Garden’, ‘Egg’, ‘End of Beginning’, and ‘Basic Being Basic’.
The 33-year-old, known for his role as Steve Harrington in the popular TV show Stranger Things, started releasing music back in 2019 with his debut song ‘Roddy’ featured on his first album ‘Twenty Twenty’. He released his second album ‘DECIDE’ in September 2022, featuring lead singles ‘Figure You Out’, ‘Half Life’, and his most popular song on Spotify, ‘End of Beginning’.
‘End of Beginning’ blew up on TikTok and reached the top charts on the UK Singles Charts and the Billboard Top 100. The song has over 1.5 billion streams worldwide and was one of the most-streamed songs last year. The viral success of this song skyrocketed Djo’s music, helping his musical talent and name become separate from his acting career as Joe Keery.
The singer’s latest release was his third studio album ‘The Crux’, in April, with lead singles ‘Basic Being Basic’, ‘Delete Ya’, and ‘Potion’. ‘The Crux’ includes the song ‘Charlie’s Garden’, which pays homage to his Netflix co-star Charlie Heaton.
Djo has been on a world tour for his latest album that started in North America before heading over to the UK and Europe with shows in London, Manchester, Glasgow, Oslo, Berlin, Warsaw, and Paris. His Glastonbury set closed out his Back On You World Tour.
During his Glastonbury set, Djo prompted his fans to break out into a dance for his standout track ‘Basic Being Basic’ on his newest album. The singer was also featured in a backstage interview with BBC Radio One before his set, discussing his excitement for playing Glastonbury, explaining that it has “surpassed my imagination, it’s pretty unbelievable”. He also compared Glastonbury to Coachella, the famous music festival in California, explaining that the identity of Glastonbury is very singular and that you “can feel the history and that it’s been around for so long” and that there is “a passion that people have about this festival”.
